I would suggest trying qemu-devel instead, because that provides qemu-2.2.0. Last time I tried it 0.11 with or without qkemu crashed a lot. According to the website, qemu version 0.11 and up do not support kqemu anymore (see http://wiki.qemu.org/KQEMU), so you don't need that anymore. In time (and if your processor is new enough to have “extended page tables”) I guess qemu on FreeBSD could be replaced by the bhyve hypervisor that is now in 10.x and is being developed further in HEAD. Currently bhyve can load FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux guests. Support to run windoze as a guest will come in the future.
