Don't see why you need full alignment check just because of the bearing change, am I missing something?
Neither do I. If I were you, I'd ask them why they think the alignment needs doing as you thought removal and replacement of the bearing would not disturb the geometry settings. Anyone know any different?
Haven't looked at the drawings, but I wouldn't be surprised if replacing the bearing means removing the whole hub carrier from the wishbones so that a hydraulic press can be used to force the outer race out. In this case, you'd certainly want to do the alignment afterwards. Dunno for a Boxster, but for a 911 (993 admittedly) an independent can do the alignment for £200 to £300. 4 hours labour for the whole bearing & alignment job would seem reasonable to me but hell, I'm guessing.
