gitweb should have any caches it wants, regardless of gitk, methinks.

I very rarely run gitk and gitweb on the same repo. The repos where I run gitk are all development repos, on my desktop machine or laptop. gitweb runs only on the webserver where I publish those...

So it may be practical to have a common cache format, but unlikely that both programs will use the same cached data in practice...
