Since I have now replaced all 4 shocks and new rear springs, is it a tricky job to align a 914? Can a regular shop like NTB with proper equipment and no tech named Hans do a good job, or are there secret tricks and chants? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

You cannot add positive camber to the rear wheels without using special camber shims. (Well, you can use washers but that's imprecise and kinda ugly.) You can potentially add NEGATIVE camber by removing shims, but you've got to go in whatever increments the existing shims give you.
