Had an email from Porsche about a super low mileage nearly new for 100k. This is truly the first time I've been inclined to think about chopping in the '2. What an amazing looking car!

Having just moved house I'm still licking my financial wounds a bit too much to consider it now.

Anyhow, excuse my ignorance but is this 3.8 a true GT engine or the new fangled nonsense?

It's still the Metzger engine. The 4.0 was the last to be put out the factory. All new GT cars will have the new engine when they come along.

The 997.2 GT3 and GT3 RS both have a 3.8 Mezger engine. To answer the question - it is the one based on the original GT1.
