Here is a script that uses curl instead of wget, so it will work on a stock Mac. All you need to set is the path to the xcode DMG file. The script will ask you for your username and password and it will figure out the ACTION and WOSID values for you.

echo "Enter your Apple Dev Center username."
read -p "> " USERNAME
echo "Enter your Apple Dev Center password."
read -p "> " PASSWORD

curl \
        -L -s -k \
        --cookie-jar cookies \
        -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5" \

        -o login.html

ACTION=$(sed -n 's/.*action="\(.*\)".*/\1/p' login.html)
WOSID=$(sed -n 's/.*wosid" value="\(.*\)".*/\1/p' login.html)
echo "action=${ACTION}"
echo "wosid=${WOSID}"

curl \
        -s -k --cookie-jar cookies --cookie cookies \
