don't know anything about the qvm86 module, but the kqemu
module is supposed to be dropped into the qemu source
directory as a subdirectory called kqemu.  You rerun
configure with the kqemu parameter and it should build.
the only thing you have to do with the install after it
is to do a modprobe kqemu. You an see if it worked if
there's something in /var/adm/messages about the kqemu
module being activated.

Sounds like you put the kqemu module in the wrong
directory.

I was using Sun's Java Desktop system, with a kernel
rev near what you have and it just worked (well, once
I modprobe'd the module)

I don't think you need to install a new kernel.  Just
put the kqemu module in your source directory for
qemu and reconfigure-make-install
