I have a 6ft (approx. 2m) wide porch at the front of my house. The space above the porch opens into the attic, like this:

I'm adding insulation — R-38 fiberglass batting — in the attic; do I need to insulate the space above the porch too?

Is the porch heated? If not, then don't bother.
The purpose of insulation is not to keep the attic warm, but to keep the house warm (or cool). You actually want the attic to stay relatively close to the outside temperature to prevent ice problems in the winter or overheating in the summer.
