A variety of USE combinations are built, but it needs to match your case. Check your binhost mirror to see which combinations exist, for instance at https://ftp.lysator.liu.se/gentoo/releases/amd64/binpackages/23.0/x86-64/Packages Search for 'CPV: net-libs/webkit-gtk' and check the USE line for the matching package versions you're wondering about.
