It is not clear under what host/osversion kqemu can be used reliably.
See

for more reports of kqemu not working.  under FreeBSD.  Also
there was a report on 9fans mailing about kqemu not working

to manifest itself everywhere before it gets fixed.  I gaver
a clear repeatable test that works on at least freebsd (but I
suspect also on some linux versions) which should make it
