New qemu hasn't implemented it yet, but I have send a patch named [xen-upstream-qemu: get vncpassword through xenstore, enable VNC_AUTH_VNC] [http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/92372/] to this mail-list before which was cced to you. That patch allows to read vncpasswd through xenstore in new qemu. In the discussion, Stefano Stabellini suggest to use QMP to communicate vncpasswd.
