My advice is simple and obvious: try to build WebKit ports that are known to 
run on mobile platforms, e.g. the Gtk and Qt ports. From there, create your 
own port based on that port, i.e. adapt the code and change it as you go.

Just by doing that, I'm pretty sure you would answer questions that you asked 
in your email.
