I don't know if this is the actual reason, but from the ports UPDATING file: Also note the 0.11 stable branch is the last qemu branch that still supports kqemu, so if you depend on reasonably fast emulation on FreeBSD you should start looking for alternatives some time soon.

Why is Qemu not in Handbook
For years I used Qemu to run Windows XP under FreeBSD. It worked fine. A few months ago I saw a message that VirtualBox was now working correctly under FreeBSD. So I tried to install it and it wouldn't build. But that's not the actual topic of my question. In the process of trying to install VirtualBox I noticed that Qemu is not mentioned in the Handbook. It's not even mentioned under "Other Virtualization Options". So my actual question is: Why is Qemu not mentioned in the Handbook? There is already a PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=127923 Even just a mention with a link to http://wiki.freebsd.org/qemu would be helpful.
