Yeah, I guess I'm being a little sensitive. I think you're right on with the F-150 comparison; I originally said it reminded me of a bus accelerating. (An F-150 is not exactly a bus...)
I've recently driven a Jetta and a New Beetle with manual transmissions, and they don't make the sound. Nonetheless, I think you've convinced me it isn't the engine. I WILL ask a Porsche wrench next time I take the car in.
