Close, but not quite.

Rekonq uses QtWebKit

See http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtWebKit

It's a separate code base with it's own issues and is even less maintained in 
the distro than webkit.  I don't particularly trust rekonq, but the 
intersection of the set of secure browsers and browsers that will fit on the 
install media is empty.
