If you are going this deep, it make no sense to not update the IMS bearing as well, as most of the costs to do this is just getting at it, exactly like the RMS.
2006 997 IMSB replacement = engine disassembly. With the big bearing in your motor you really have nothing to worry about IMSB wise.

When you go in there it certainly makes sense to replace both seals (RMS and IMSB seal) at the same time.
