freebsd-ports/emulators/qemu-devel/pkg-descr
Juergen Lock d4e5177000 Finally bring qemu 0.12.1 into ports as the new emulators/qemu-devel,
release announcement is here:
	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-12/msg02151.html

Quoting from pkg-message:

- kqemu is no longer supported in qemu upstream after the 0.11 branch
was created, which means also not in this version.  (Linux has moved
on to kvm now for qemu(-like) virtualization needs, so if you want qemu
to go faster and don't want to switch to virtualbox or stick to the older
emulators/qemu port which is at 0.11.1 atm and as such still supports
kqemu you should help getting the FreeBSD kvm port updated and
completed:

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
good emulation speed.
QEMU has two operating modes:
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
the PC or to debug system code.
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
cross-debugging.
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.

Many live cd isos also work.
