There is a manual way to open the trunks, but they can be difficult to get to. If your Boxter is anything like my 2003 911 (and it is), there is a cable pull directly in front of the passenger front tire. Turn the steering wheel to the full left, then get out and see if you can fish your hand up between the plastic splash guards for this cable. Once you find it and pull it, it should manually pop the front hood/trunk. As for why the electronic popper is not working may be some bad relay or blown fuse. May be a trip to your local Porsche mechanic. Good luck.

you can power up the trunk release fro mthe fuse box in the drivers side kick panel. or you can plug a jumper box into the lighter.

This is a common problem. Your alarm was on when the battery went dead. When the alarm activated, the hood/bonnet opening lever locks to prevent thieves from opening the hood in case the top is down. Some boxsters have a jumper post the pulls out near the fuse box. However, I do not think the 1997-1999s have this post.
Buy a male-to-male cigarette lighter adapter at the auto store. Connect between your car's cigarette lighter socket and the other car's cigarette lighter socket. Do not try to start the ignition or the any other electronics. You should not even need the key in the ignition. You should be able to pop the door locks with the remote and open the bonnet.
