So what am I looking at?
Bad alternator?
Bad starter/solenoid?
Something else?

I am going with bad battery or alternator. If your alternator or voltage regulator are bad, then you wouldn't get a good charge on the battery, but should also expect some other electrical gremlins - particularly with the Boxster. My money is on the almost new battery being defective. Happens more often than you think.
