As explained by Game Informer, players will need to buy Xbox 360 DLC through the console itself or Xbox.com. You cannot do this through the Xbox One, at least not currently.
"Right now, backward compatibility does not emulate the Xbox 360 store and new Xbox 360 games can be purchased on your Xbox 360 or via Xbox.com," a Microsoft representative told Game Informer. "We will support both digital and disc-based entitlements for Xbox 360 games running on Xbox One."
If you already own DLC for backwards-compatible Xbox 360 games, you should be good to go, as all DLC will be automatically downloaded with the game. More details are available here at Game Informer.
The New Xbox One Experience launches on November 12. In addition to backwards compatibility support for Xbox 360 games, it totally revamps the UI and makes a long list of other welcome changes.
