It is unlikely WebKit will use Chromes V8, as only a couple of days ago the WebKit Team announced that they have improved on their SquirrelFish JS engine (which was only slightly slower than Chromes V8). The new JS engine, called SquirrelFish Extreme, is about 30% faster than SquirrelFish. So it should be very close to the speed of V8.
Neither SquirrelFish or SquirrelFish Extreme are present in the current version of Safari (no idea about Omniweb). Its due for Safari 4.
If you download a WebKit nightly you should be able to test it though.
