No idea really, but a quick query tells me that phonon is provided as a
separate package:
% pacman -Qs phonon
local/phonon 4.4.2-1
The multimedia API for KDE4
local/phonon-gstreamer 4.4.2-1
Phonon Gstreamer backend
So I'm guessing that you could rebuild Qt with phonon and remove the
standalone phonon package(s) - but that might break other things that this
approach is designed to make work.
Or alternatively, can you tell webkit to look for the separate phonon that's
not provided with Qt when it builds?
