Obviously, replace 8C46 with the build of OS X you intend to take Darwin projects from. Now this route does, as you said above, result in downloading much more than you actually *need* in order to get started. However, there's a reason for that; sadly a number of the darwinbuild projects don't have their dependencies spelled out correctly :-(. And yes, it does download gcc, ld, as and so forth into the build chroot - you want to be using the version used to build that Darwin version, which isn't necessarily the version on your Xcode DVD.
