You’re fine on Mountain Lion, Lion, or even Snow Leopard: just deactivate webkit-gtk and install webkit-gtk-2.0 in its place:

sudo port -f deactivate webkit-gtk
sudo port install webkit-gtk-2.0

Then you can upgrade the rest of your outdated ports. gnucash should have no problem automatically using webkit-gtk-2.0 instead of webkit-gtk once you do that.

I’ll try to automate this soon so that this manual intervention isn’t needed anymore, but for now it is.
