Snort Rules Updates Manually W/O Pulled Pork/Oinkmaster

[Scott Guthrie <SGuthrie () RPU ORG>]

Hello,
I am new to using Snort and was curious about updates.  Do I have to have Pulled Pork or Oinkmaster to update my rules? 
 Also, Are rules the only maintenance task I should perform to keep up to date?   Should I be able to untar/gz the 
snortrules-snapshot-*.tar.gz and put it in the proper directory or is there more to it and if so why?
Thanks for your time and consideration!
