Hmm...on my rural internet connection this may be an issue, however I
assume I can download this stuff (say to a usb stick) and then use good
old fashioned 'sneaker' net method to get the binaries on. I ask this in
case Apple require you to 'download it to the machine' than provide
separate binaries?

Like say they do with their iOS updates?

Also when you run

'sudo port install [XYZ]' is that the same as doing a get-apt (I.e I need
an internet connection for those commands or is that installing from the
Xcode stuff I would have downloaded and copied over)?
