Flood, in short, yes.
The reasons 911 smoke on start up is because they are flat engines. When you shut the car down some valves are going to be open and the oil in the valve train will succumb to gravity and enter the cylinder(s). On start up you are just burning it off. However, if it pursists more than a few minutes after startup you may have a problem with your valve seats that will need a looking into.
When I first got my 911, I was a little concerned, but the Porsche dealer checked her out and found that she was actually in excellent running order and told me that the new 911s smoke just as much.
I hope this helps.
