You still need to use what we call a WebKit port for this, even if that port exposes the WebKit2 C API. That is the cross-platform API that has been mentioned, but as far as I'm aware it's not yet decided whether it will stay public and stable, and it is not completely stand-alone, it needs to be shipped by a port. So yes, you still need to use a port that will provide a graphics rendering library, an HTTP library, a media playing engine, painting of form elements, and some way to put the rendered page on screen, as well as obtain input events.
