You can get the current version from SVN in modules-unstable, but that hasn’t ever worked without major 
surgery. The WebKitGtk folks have in the past been extremely hostile to (to the extent of deliberately 
breaking) building with gtk-quartz, so rather extensive patching has been required. It’s several days work 
and hasn’t been a priority for me to do so, so I haven’t. On the other hand they’ve been making nicer noises 
on the mailing list in the last couple of months, so maybe you’ll get lucky.
