First, you probably don't want selfupdate-cvs but selfupdate-rsync. It 
is faster and, on the average, more stable. Selfupdate-cvs is for 
developers and for those behind an rsync-unfriendly firewall.

Second, "dev-tools" is a virtual package that shows up as installed as 
soon as you have the two executables /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/make on 
your machine. Maybe you didn't install all packages from the xcode tools?
