So far it has been started and moved two times, one for the first towtruck (from scene to my house) and another for the second towtruck (from my house to the repair shop).

I can't see it being an issue as running the car for that amount of time won't let the temps rise to anywhere near 'normal operating' temps much less temps that can damage anything.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I hit a curb on Wednesday, long story short, it was raining and I saw an object on the road, tried to avoid it and the rear tires slipped and boom. The accident seems minor, the aero bumper was only scratched but the radiator cracked and will need to be replaced. I saw that the condenser was bent as well and will be replaced. I did saw coolant on the floor and of course haven't used the car since. Once I parked on the side of the road I turned off. So far it has been started and moved two times, one for the first towtruck (from scene to my house) and another for the second towtruck (from my house to the repair shop).
Can the car be started and driven for small periods of time? like 30 seconds at a time? I am guessing it should be fine but with these cars who knows, my concerns is the cracked cylinder head problem. I know the shop owner and they have experience fixing these cars. I told him that this car cant be driven because of this problem but I am assuming they will need to drive it to move it / align it, etc.
any thoughts?

As long as u dont run it long enough to over heat the motor u r fine. U may have also bent the support bracket. I was able to get used parts off ebay for mine. It shares parts with the boxters if u do your search right u can find parts cheaper.
I just put turbo radiators in my 996 aero for the extra 110HP power for my 3.8 so I have a radiator and condenser assembly I can sell you with brackets. it has 54k miles...
BTW, nothing beats the look of a yellow 996 aero. Great choice. I love mine....
I believe it is a mkII GT3 lip. I have a spare one if I ever need it.... Also, Since I have the large turbo radiators on the car I have the air inlets widened in a way that it looks stock....very suttle
