I've tried the offline way of apt, however rebooting from one OS to the other just to update packages and install new ones requires lots of patience, and actually I desisted (not only because I couldn't do apt stuff directly from hurd, also because I didn't have any connection with local LAN, and no connection with the world from hurd, that's kind of hard), but it's a method that actually works, the documentation pages in debian/hurd include all required information...
