The "apt-get" package manager is almost exclusively for use with Debian based Linux systems. The packages that are stored in the repositories that the apt-get manager gets are Linux binaries that can't be used in a Mac environment.
It looks like you can, however, use your own version of the upgrade command in a terminal which is softwareupdate
. I found this article that should be able to help: http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/13/install-mac-os-x-software-updates-terminal/
