As your build output says, you can not compile WebKit trunk with Qt4 any
more, it's Qt5 only.
You might be interested in a branch for Qt4, that's maintained in a
community effort:
https://gitorious.org/+qtwebkit-developers/webkit/qtwebkit-23

Or you might want to give Qt 5.0 a shot (RC2 at the time of writing) which
also includes a pretty recent QtWebKit as a module:
http://qt-project.org/downloads
