They are similar. Motortrend states slightly over 9" ground clearance with the air suspension maxed out for the Macan. I couldn't find anything from the Porsche site to confirm, other than the delta between normal and max is 40 mm (1.57"). In the Cayenne the delta is 2.17" at the rear with air suspension at max (slightly higher in front) for an overall clearance of 9.65"
Just found a couple of other sites that state 9.05 to 9.06" ground clearance for the Macan at max air suspension setting.
