Is it true that if your timing belt breaks while your driving the engine will seize up? how often do you need to replace the timing belt?

check out this site I found about all Porsche's!

That doesn't apply to the 924 but it does apply to the 924S and the 944's. As for the 931, I'm not sure but I would assume it doesn't apply to it either since it's relatively the same engine. The 924 has a non-interference engine which means if the belt breaks then the belt breaks unlike an interference engine (ie. 944) where the valves can bend and/or the head may warp.

The 931 is an interference engine. Bad news when the belt breaks.
