Conventional wisdom says, it's cheaper to buy a used one with a tip. You would be putting money into a car and wind up with something worth less than you started b/c the numbers no longer match.
Having said that, a recent issue of Excellence details someone who converted his 911 tip to a manual (forget what year). I would read that first, and then imagine how much more complex the process will be due to engine location, then I would go out and buy a used one with the transmission you want :-)

Considering that you have to install a Tip computer, which ties into the DME and who knows what else, I can't imagine how it would be cost effective, even if it's possible - as Asquared said, probably better to just go out and buy/trade for a Tip car.
