yes.
1. read this: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Water Pump & Boxster Thermostat Replacement - 986 / 987
2. use OEM pump.
3. use OEM coolant.
4. inspect hoses, and replace if needed.

there is no problem i can think of.
in fact, up to date, that was the easiest project ive done on my car. (not including the small maintenance things)

one thing you should consider, is replacing the front engine mount at the same time.
if needed obviously.
