Treyarch have confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops will indeed have mod tools but not until after the game launches on the 9th of November this year.  pcdev confirmed mod tools on the official Call of Duty Forums:

We plan to open the game up for modding sometime post-launch. We do not know yet to what extent you will be able to mod the game. There are some purely technical issues related to engine and internal tool enhancements that do not easily fit the modtools paradigm.

And, dev console: confirmed.

Activision CEO Robert Kotick has said that Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the biggest launch investment the company has ever undertaken for a product.

Speaking to investors last night, Kotick said that marketing opportunities for the game along with the current size of the console installed base, justify the expense involved in marketing the title.

“[Call of Duty: Black Ops] is across the board, the biggest investment that we’ve ever made in a launch of a title. And I think when audiences see the product, they’ll see why we’re doing it this way,” he said.
