Right: wget isn't necessary when you have a GUI. However, chances are you'll need gcc for something eventually (e.g., any package that isn't pure Python), so it's probably worth installing XCode /w command line tools package (incl. gcc) anyway. I agree it's a hassle to install everything else when all you want is gcc. It's possible you could get gcc on it's own: http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/06/install-gcc-without-xcode-in-mac-os-x/ ... not sure if it applies to 10.8.
