For loadable modules you can use devfs.conf so try something like
the following as root.

# cat >> /etc/devfs.conf <<EOF
perm	kqemu0	0666
perm	kqemu1	0666
EOF

# /etc/rc.d/devfs restart

But changing permissions to 0666 is a bad idea in my view.  A
slightly better idea is to use the following in devfs.conf

own	kqemu0	foo:bar

if you want to allow user foo to gain access to kqemu0.
