I also post experimental port updates on -emulation once in a while that bring the qemu-devel port to more recent svn snapshots, like here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2008-November/005530.html Oh and btw -kernel-kqemu is known to be broken with FreeBSD/amd64 guests, I was still able to boot 7.1-BETA2-amd64-livefs.iso into fixit->cdrom and try a few things in there using `regular' (userland) kqemu and my latest qemu-devel snapshot tho.
