It is a kpart (kde platform component) built on top of libkdewebkit, which just wraps qtwebkit. So, it is not another webkit code copy. just something that uses the library. That said, I don't have any particular opinion on webkitkde, except for the fact that the current version in squeeze should not be released as it is.
