This makes much more sense than asking for emulation of a 3D card.

Passing direct hardware calls from QEMU to the host graphics card is 
basically a no-option thing. It would both be technically very difficult, 
and extremely tied to a single host card model (specific model, not only 
vendor).

But providing OpenGL calabilities to the guest, mapped to OpenGL on the 
host is manageable, and not host hardware dependent.
