Anything is possible with some money and custom fabrication. Good luck.
More then likey you'll either need new caliper bracketts made, or you'll be better off selling those brakes to a VW guy as they are dropins for them.

front brake mounting points on 03 WRX is the same as STi
you'll need brakets for the caliper and probably you have to find the correct thickness rotors, if it's not compatible.
Good luck!

Generally speaking majority of OEM brembo brakes and this goes for 300zx, porsche, and perhaps the STi....
There are no "caliper brackets" The caliper itself is all you need with the mounting points to the wheel assembly part of the unit.
Manufacturers go to Brembo and say they want a brake with these specs <insert here>... From there it's all gravy.
The 300ZX shares the same 4pot caliper as the STi/WRX. But it will not physically bolt on. Different mounting holes.
In the case of Porsche brakes like yours, I wouldn't doubt if they are the same. The trick is to take off your caliper and caliper bracket(this holds the caliper to the wheel assembly and also holds the brake pads.)
From there hold up your porsche brakes and see what it would take to get them to bolt up. You will also need to look into getting some 17" or larger wheels. Perhaps even wheel spacers if needs be...
Again good luck.

See if Mov-it (http://www.ultimategarage.com/ is US dist)
will sell you brackets and such.
You'll need calipers brackets and I would expect rotor hats.

Edit: Possibly lines.
