It is technically possible. The binary-only part of kqemu is just the core, the
wrapper that turns it into a kernel module is released with source code. So, you
can simply edit the right kernel makefiles and put the right files in the right
places, and possibly make a few tiny changes in the source of the kqemu linux
wrapper, and you should be able to get it to compile in statically. However,
I have never done this and can not offer you advice on how to do it.

Also, it may not legal to release the modified kernel source tree because you are
mixing GPL code with closed source (keeping the kernel for yourself only should
be ok though).
