Corner balancing is putting a car on four large scales and then changing the ride height on the four corners to balance the weight from right to left. The term jacking weight is just what it implies. By turning the jack bolt on the right front torsion bar and forcing the right front of the car higher it is also adding weight to that scale and the one on the left rear. To take this to extremes so you can understand it, use a very long bolt and turn it in until the car is so high on the right front that the left front and right rear are off the ground, by jacking enough weight you can put it all on just two wheels.
On street Porsches they balance the car even, on full race Porsches they may not depending on the track.
Good Porsche shop should be able to do a four wheel alignment and corner balance.
