You probably mean glBlendEquationSeparate() (possibly with EXT or ARB)
right? glBlendEquation() is supported by practically all OpenGL implementations.

This is bit problematic. WebGL 1.0 standard requires certain set of functions
to be available. So allowing to initialize would not be compatible with the
standard.
