<https://www.macports.org/install.php>
Please note that in order to install and run MacPorts on Mac OS X, your
system must have installations of the following components:

Apple's Xcode Developer Tools (version 6.1 or later for Yosemite, 5.0.1
or later for Mavericks, 4.4 or later for Mountain Lion, 4.1 or later for
Lion, 3.2 or later for Snow Leopard, or 3.1 or later for Leopard), found
at the Apple Developer site, on your Mac OS X installation CDs/DVD, or
in the Mac App Store. Using the latest available version that will run
on your OS is highly recommended.

If you try to use Macports without Xcode, it fails:

No valid Xcode installation is properly selected.
Please use xcode-select to select an Xcode installation:

To summarize: You asked how to instal Xcode command-line tools without
installing Xcode applications. Then you said the last time you tried it,
it did not work, and that perhaps it was MacPorts failed. Then I replied
that MacPorts has *nothing* to do with installing Xcode tools.

They compile just fine. Have you even tried?

Not required.

Yes, "Linux" clients like slrn and pan work just fine in Mac OS X, since it
is Unix.

As others have said, most Terminal-based newsreaders can be run on a Mac
(yay, Unix!) and many graphical widget sets have their own Mac ports.  In
general, though, I would recommend just using Linux (via a VM like
VirtualBox) if you want to run software that is primarily designed to
run on Linux.

Yeah yeah. We go through this every time. Slrn is extremely easy to 
build and maintain (e.g.) and unless you have some other need for 
bloating out a Linux VM system, there's no need not to run it under OS X.

How do you feel about rsync?

But that’s the thing.  There is a *lot* of great Linux software other than
just newsreaders, much of it being *tons* harder to get working on a Mac
but trivially easy using a distribution’s package manager.

> How do you feel about rsync?

I’m glad Apple includes it with Mac OS X.  It makes it easy to transfer
files to my Linux VM.  :-)
