WebKit versions are weird, when you install webkit-gtk-2.4.x, there are configure flags for --enable-webkit1 and --enable-webkit2 as well as --with-gtk=2.0 and --with-gtk=3.0. So the patch provides support for gtk3, but not for webkit2. The API changed considerably between webkit1 and webkit2, so it's probably a bigger change than going to gtk3. For one, webkit2 wants do all the rendering in a separate process, like google chrome, but they baked it into the library for some reason.
