If my pre-coffee memory is correct, Macports only needs command-line tools for XCode.

    xcode-select --install

That said, MacPorts is often opinionated, e.g. they package certain versions of some software and not others.

> 1. Install Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools

It does not, it does need the "command line tools" installed. Certain ports require full Xcode but not too many.
