Good chance I can't help.... I'm just curious.

You want to have a VPN endpoint running in FreeBSD as a guest OS within 
Qemu, on a FreeBSD host?  You want it in Qemu so you don't have to 
modify the host's network setup and/or install the necessary software?

In any case, take a look here (if you haven't already):
   http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html#SEC20
Might find something useful.

The Qemu site states "The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall 
which blocks all incoming connections."  So on first glance, its sounds 
as if it might not be supported.  But I'd read over the docs in more 
detail if I were you.
