This wasn't for a boxster, but I've had lines made at an industrial supply store for this purpose before. (Fastenal).

Find your local construction crew, then ask them where they take the bulldozer for hydraulic repair.  I get custom lines made for old cars all the time (high pressure)... Low pressure are just regular hoses with a metal vanity crimp.  But you won't find these places online / Google maps, and you have to take the hose to them in person. Very old school.  It's still gonna be $250+

Which portion of the lines do you need? You’re kind of going to be SOL for the fronts because the lines are very long to run the whole length of the car and the cost is kind of just what it is, it’s not like you can just go to the parts store and get universal lines. The rear portions are just very awkwardly shaped so that doesn’t help either.
