Basically you want to split WebCore and the other generic parts of
webkit and rebuild the platform specific versions upon it? That would be
a hell lot of work... You know, the different ports use different
javascript engines (well, basically AFAIK only chromium does...), they
use different network libraries (libcurl vs. libsoup on linux),
different font rendering engine, ... Plus, this effort should be carried
over together with upstream. Plus there's WebKit2 development going on
(not sure what stage it is at right now, though) and the ports will
switch to it sooner or later, so this would be IMHO a better starting
point.
