hi Derek,
please keep the list in CC.

yes, from ports. also install kqemu port and test whether using it for all
qemu kernel calls or only userland makes a difference - i've found it crashing
more often when using the full accel mode, but quite ok when using it for some
of the syscalls only.
	
kqemu-kmod-1.3.0.p11_9 Kernel Accelerator for QEMU CPU Emulator
qemu-0.9.1_9        QEMU CPU Emulator
qtemu-1.0.5_1       A Qt4 front-end to Qemu

Mind you, i have only used it in a desktop environment... I don't think it is
ready for a full enterprise / virtualisation solution like vmware or xen.
