Yes, but be aware that none of the upstream Linux ports support legacy 
WebKit anymore, so it will probably be much harder.

Some new features are WebKit2 only, e.g. resource load statistics. I'm 
not aware of any list, though. Maybe somebody else will list more. 
Also, the GLib APIs that you probably want to use are also 
WebKit2-only. (The lower-level C and C++ APIs are going to be removed.)

Good luck,
