qemu + 802.1Q VLANs

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD/i386 RELENG_6 as a guest within qemu
on a FreeBSD host.  Guest and host are connected through
the usual tap0/ed0 virtual ethernet.

The host receives an 802.1Q VLAN trunk from a VLAN-capable
Cisco switch, and uses several VLANs from within that trunk.
I would like to access some of the VLANs from the guest OS
running in qemu, too, but haven't been able to find out how
to do that.

So, here's the question:  Is it possible to "forward" a
VLAN trunk into a qemu guest somehow, so that both host
and guest can use VLANs from it?

Best regards
   Oliver
