Plugs on 2001 and later cars get changed at 60K. Earlier cars get changed at 30K. If at the plug change, the newer type 4 electrode plugs are used, then the change interval can go to 60K on those as well.
The polyrib belt (accessory drive belt) get changed at 60K.
Here is a very good list of all Maintenance checklists for 996/986 cars

Just a hypothetical question: If you owned a Toyota Corolla instead of a Porsche, would you still want to pay $600 for an oil/filter belt change? Oh yes, and lets not forget those "inspections".
