Hmm, I would not expect BSD to need 'localtime' -...
yes, sorry, locatime is not what I meant. The other mandatory option is "-no-
kvm-pit".
You can turn off ACPI easily enough, by leaving out the
'<acpi/>' flag in
the <features> section.
The -tdf flag isn't something we have support for. It is not in upstream
QEMU, only added in the KVM tree AFAIK, and is rather a hack. KVM should be
fixed to 'just work' by default either by fixing the bug that prevents BSD
working, or by making -tdf the global default.
ACPI modification is done. But, the mandatory options "-tdf" and
"-no-kvm-pit"
cannot be add. And if you disable ACPI without these options the virtual
machine freeze.
I ask for a <netbsd/> flag in the <features> section for giving the good
arguments to qemu-kvm.
Libvirt is the frontend, so it have to adapt, isn't it ?

virt-manager doesn't tend to expose this fine level of control over
individual features. Instead we have an OS type dictionary giving the
defaults for these kind of things, particularly the acpi/localtime
settings. I can't remember off hand if there is a Net BSD 5.0 OS
type or not - if not file a bug against virt-manager asking for one
to be added.
No, there isn't a "NetBSD 5.0" type, but, currently, it is useless because
libvirt can't run NetBSD with kvm :(.
