No, you need newer version of qemu, for example version 0.13.0
(see http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) or latest qemu version
from the qemu git repository.

kqemu was replaced by kvm support (at least for some platforms).

As far as I know, there should be kvm support for FreeBSD, too,
but I must admit that I rarely use kvm: for most guests
which you listed neither kqemu nor kvm will be useable.
Both only improve host architecture = guest architecture
scenarios.
