As others have said, AFAIK newer version of Xcode are only available as
full manual  downloads.  I think it is a misperception that Xcode is
updated via software update.

That's why I explcitly direct users to get the latest from Apple's
developer site and warn them of port install failures if they do not.

But I think I'll add even more explicit verbage today about software
update not updating Xcode -unless and until someone comes up with evidence
otherwise.  I want that page to be accurate so we can just point people to
it.
