Don't worry, this is a known limitation of the current X backend for QEMU.

It only knows how to work with Xorg on Linux with kbd or evdev. It can't
cope with OS-X or Windows  X11 servers yet. I've got patches that will
address this which i hope to finally put into 2.12 as part of the keycodemapdb
work.

In the meantime your best bet is to use the native OS-X cocoa frontend for
QEMU, or VNC.

Daniel
