Route the seatbelt round the back of the seat and plug it in or buy a buckle and plug that in.

If it's the standard 9x7 affair, the chime can be disabled with a visit to your OPC. A few clicks on their PIWIS (and a lighter wallet) would rid it for good.
IMHO, best way of going about it without tinkering (read fooling) with the SRS system.

On a 996 GT3 you can just pull the wire connector out of the sensor unit underneath the seat so it doesn't think anyone is sitting there - not sure if that will work on a 997 though.

Nip into your nearest breakers yard and get them to snip a male buckle out of any German car

The SRS system is pre-programmed to undertake a set of actions and uses the seat pressure sensor/belt buckle as inputs. Telling it you are buckled up when not is screwing up with the pre-programmed scenario's which could be potentially hazardous.  Really, the proper course of action should be to consider just asking the opc to disable the chime.

Indeed, however it's when the buckle is left in place as a permanent solution where it becomes a hazard.
