Pass the appropriate -k option to QEMU to set the keytab.   Normally, 
with SDL, QEMU is smart enough to look at the hardware keycodes if 
they're available.  Under a VNC server, I suspect they aren't available 
so you'll have to explicitly tell QEMU how to map X11 keysyms to what 
would be the appropriate key sequences.

'qemu-system-x86_64 -k de' is probably what you're looking for.
