The developer tools are just one big dmg download, you can fetch that

Nothing to do with automatical updates.

MacPorts is a project independent from Apple, but uses the compiler  
etc installed with Xcode.
What you can download and install from macports.org is just a base  
system to be able to use the port command.
port is very similar to apt-get.
And yes, you need a good internet connection.
