WebCore has no public interface. And it evolves so fast, feature wise,
that maintaining a system-webcore version of WebKitGTK+ would be more
than merely plugging it in.
Plus, as mention already, WebKitGTK+ is exposing libSoup to provide
functionality such as HTTP cookies, authentication and proxy server
support. The Mac WebCore doesn't have that because it uses different
code paths for the networking.
