You probably want webkit2-gtk.

% port echo 'webkit*'
webkit-gtk
webkit-gtk-2.0
webkit-gtk-devel
webkit-gtk3
webkit-gtk3-2.0
webkit-gtk3-devel
webkit-sharp
webkit2-gtk
webkit2-gtk-devel

That's not really useful, but I assure you that the webkit-gtk-2.0 port
aborts on Sierra with a "not supported" message, and this will not be
"fixed". Perhaps you are not seeing this message because a dependency is
causing the failure.

In any case, try using one of the WebKit2 ports.
