Back in the days of Generation 4, you needed to import Pokemon from Generation 3 in order to complete the National Pokedex. The Generation 5 titles seemed to reduce a lot of this, so is importing anything from the Generation 3 games even needed to complete the Pokedex in Generation 6?
Are Generation 3 Pokemon titles still Needed to complete the Generation 6 National Dex

1) What are the exact conditions for additional Boxes to appear and do you always get 8 additional Boxes? (Using Pokemon Bank reveals that in X/Y, the maximum number of Boxes is 31, which I have experienced to be unlocked in 2 steps of 8 Boxes each.)
More boxes appear when you have at least one Pokemon in your current boxes. When all your current boxes have at least one Pokemon in them, 8 new boxes will appear the next time you log into your PC (you start with 7 boxes, then get up to 15 boxes, then up to 23 boxes and last to 31 boxes, the figures exclude the battle box).
2) Do additional Boxes you receive stay forever or do they disappear if the conditions for them are no longer met?
3) If they disappear, is there a way (such as renaming or putting any Pokemon in the last Box) to make them stay no matter what, even if you released all your other Pokemon?
No matter what you do, those boxes will never disappear, even if you move all the Pokemon you have to a single box and the remaining boxes are empty.
Building On @Batophobia's answer, let's look at the probabilities that occur when 5 stats are transferred.
Getting either 2 or 3 Perfect IVs on the child will occur in roughly 56.9% of all eggs (where the Destiny Knot transferred 5 stats). If the IV checker is reporting 'decent' potential, then it would seem likely that whatever stats the two parents have that aren't 31 are quite low.

Looking at http://www.serebii.net/xy/unobtainable.shtml, there are 27 Pokemon from Generation 3 that are listed as "Unobtainable" in X and Y. However, you can obtain a number of these through previous games.
If you own HG/SS, you can use the Pokewalker and the "Hoenn Starter" gift to get a majority of those 27 missing pokemon. You can catch Latias, Latios, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza in HG&SS as well, which takes care of a good chunk of the legendaries required to complete the National Dex.
The unobtainable list for HG/SS (http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/unobtainable.shtml) lists only Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Jirachi and Deoxys as unobtainable, which means you can obtain 22 of the missing pokemon just from this game alone.
Using Black 2 and White 2, you could then catch Regirock, Registeel, and Regice, leaving Jirachi and Deoxys as the only two unobtainables.
This is where it gets tricky. If you participated in any of the events where Deoxys or Jirachi were handed out, then you would be able to bring the final two in from one of those games. However, if you missed out, you're going to have to wait until the next event where they hand out those pokemon. The only reason you would have to import them from Gen 3 would be if you had one of them on RSE (Like a Jirachi from the Pokemon Colosseum bonus disk). Otherwise, you could just wait for the next event, or get them from a previous event.
Hopefully, this will help you out in completing the National Pokedex. Good luck!
