request change in macports documentation about downloading xcode.

[David Epstein]

I’m using Xcode 5.1.1 (5B1008) on OSX 10.9.2.
Yes, you are right: I carelessly ignored the instruction to run "xcode-select —install”, thereby giving myself unnecessary grief.

It was only at that point that I realized that, although I had downloaded the latest version of Xcode, as instructed, nevertheless it needed Xcode to be launched before it would work correctly. (Apple was requiring some modification of Xcode before launching xcode and needed admin permission to do so.)
