Full Xcode is not necessary for zlib, but because it is a port that many many other ports depend on, I placed an Xcode check in the zlib port years ago to ensure that MacPorts users have their Xcode installed properly. This has eliminated many tickets we would otherwise have had to handle. Please set up your Xcode installation properly. It will save you problems later on for those ports that do need Xcode.
