I don't think updates have been addressed yet, but there will be
version numbers in the XML, so the PM could certainly compare
versions with those on the web and say "There are updated versions
of your installed packages. Would you like to download them now?"
The packages would need to be organised by version so that multiple
versions could be installed simultaneously. E.g.

~/wxpackages/wxcoolcomponent/1.2.1/src
~/wxpackages/wxcoolcomponent/1.2.1/include
...
~/wxpackages/wxcoolcomponent/1.2.2/src
~/wxpackages/wxcoolcomponent/1.2.2/include
...

or similar.

Yes indeed!
