So if you find specific problems and workarounds please open bugs for it or ask here. I can almost guarantee it is not going to work without a few build-system fixes on both Windows and Mac. The build system is the part where QtWebKit2.3 has diverged most from trunk (due to some otherwise really nice build system improvements in trunk that depend on Qt5 QMake).
Please note that QtWebKit 2.3 is not a part of any official Qt release and is not scheduled to be. It is a community Qt project to provide a more uptodate WebKit for Qt 4.x. Which means we also need your support to help develop and maintain it. I will be happy to review any patches any one has that might help. You can also try skipping back half a month at a time and see if you can find the merge where Mac builds broke. QtWebKit2.3 was branched from trunk in early August, but has been following trunk since in twice weekly merges, with only the patches that would break it skipped or rewritten. Btw when opening bugs on QtWebKit2.3, you should make it block bug 88186 which tracks all QtWebKit2.3 issues. Otherwise we are sure to miss it.
