You could use:

-monitor unix:/var/run/qemu-server/103.mon,server,nowait

And connect i.e. with minicom to /var/run/qemu-server/103.mon.

If you put a "minirc.yourguest" file in /etc/minicom/ with content:

pu port             unix#/var/run/qemu-server/103.mon
pu minit
pu mreset


You will be able to connect to that monitor with:

minicom yourguest

For example:

# minicom web3-mon

Welcome to minicom 2.2

OPTIONS: I18n
Compiled on Jan  7 2007, 19:01:49.
Port unix#/var/run/qemu-server/105.mon

                                       Press CTRL-A Z for help on 
special keys

QEMU 0.9.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) help
help|? [cmd] -- show the help
(...)

Note: this will "quit the emulator" and your guest:

(qemu) quit


So most likely you will just want to exit with minicom's "ctrl-a z x" 
combination.
