err.. it works for me...
This gives me 9 qemu sessions that all get different 10.x.x.x ip addresses via dhcp

#!/bin/sh
rm /tmp/qemu-irc-*
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do
qemu-img create -b /tracks/lin.img -f qcow /tmp/qemu-irc-$i
qemu -fda /tracks/floppy.img -hda /tmp/qemu-irc-$i -boot a -user-net -macaddr C0:0F:FE:01:01:9$i -m32 &
done
