I ran the NetBSD 2.0 LiveCD with QEMU last night with no problems (as my
normal user and not as root):
$ qemu -boot d -cdrom i386live.iso
$ pkg_info | grep qemu
qemu-0.6.1s.20041115 QEMU CPU Emulator
$ uname -v
FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #28: Sun Dec 12 02:01:55 CST 2004...

Last night was actually my first time to use QEMU.  I was impressed that
it was so easy to use.  In fact, I was up and running in literally 15
seconds.  Take *that* MS Virtual PC 2004 SP1...
