No.

Safari's Web Inspector lives in the Safari.app, so nightlies do not automatically get new features. The best thing to do is implement it in the Open Source inspector (as you've done) and Apple will (hopefully) merge it in. You can also file a bug at bugreporter.apple.com explicitly requesting it.
