Once again. Webkit is not a BROWSER !
So there is no rendering that can happen without a toolkit (atleast today) !
So without making a port decision you cannot compile webkit !

Now the choice of the port depends on what kind of display hardware/driver
support you have.
First question are you running linux or WinCE on your target?
Do you have linux framebuffer /  DirectFB  / X11 running ?

Once you find answers for these questions, then you have to choose between
QT and GTK based on your comfort level.

There are full featured browsers that are built out of both these ports
(look at epiphany and arora )
