Can this be "easily" swapped into a 98 Boxster?

This should help:

"The Boxster 1997-99 chassis can accept any Carrera 996 3.4L engine, or can use any Boxster engine from 1997-2002. In 2003, Porsche switched to a vane-cell adjuster mechanism to control the variable camshaft timing, and this system requires the later DME running Motronic version 7.8. Unless you upgrade the car to use the later DME (very difficult), you cannot use any 2002 or later 996 Carrera engine or any 2003 or later Boxster engine. You can swap in any replacement 2.5L engine from 1997-99 without having to remap the DME."
"Installing a 996/997 3.6 or 3.8 engine or 2003-08 Boxster/Cayman engine is very difficult on these early cars, as you need to manually update many other systems in the car to get them to work properly. These later engines used Vario-Cam Plus, which is a system for controlling variable valve lift. You need to install a late-model DME and run Motronic 7.8 in order to control the variable valve lift properly. It is possible to run a piggyback computer that independently controls the variable valve lift, but this solution is not ideal and is complex to implement."
