I've got 168,000 miles my '06 9-3 2.0T Combi and I'm still running the original coil packs. I change the plugs at 60K intervals. I've never had a CEL and the car has always run like new. I've owned this car since new and the only other parts I've replaced on the engine are the water-pump, the accessory drive belt and the alternator pulley (twice on that one).
From reading this and other forums many owners have had to replace at least one coil pack with far fewer miles on the clock. I can't say if it's just luck or different driving conditions. I wouldn't replace them unless you're getting a misfire and/or a CEL that points to them being at fault. When they start to fail you'll first experience misfires at wide-open throttle and full boost.
