That's more or less it under OS X 10.6 (Snow leopard). There's only one DVD but there's the option to install the /Developer folder (containing Xcode). This can be done at any time subsequently by remounting the DVD.
Haven't upgraded to Lion yet (OS X 10.7). It discontinues Rosetta which I still need. No idea how you install Xcode under Lion yet (there's no DVD, just a download). Presumably if you install over Snow leopard it simply leaves your /Developer folder intact? (It had better... grr!) Somebody tell me, please?
