OSX doesn't come with the tools to set it up as far as I can tell — some searching I did a while back made it seem like older versions of OSX may have had the appropriate programs, but nothing I could find described getting qemu working on 10.5 or up. I found this http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/ , but was already too frustrated to put the effort into getting it to work with qemu.

I have vague memories of the software networking working under Q. Such
memories may be delusional but I don't see why it wouldn't. You might
have a bit of trouble running a server with the software stack due the
port<1024 thing. I ran a cpu server in qemu under Linux after I patched
Linux to allow user programs to use low ports, (Trivial patch,) or
there is a simple iptables workaround. (There's an iptables script in
mycroftiv's bundles.) There is a way of doing such port-mapping in OS X
but I never got around to it so couldn't tell you how. It might even be
a port of pf but you have to install some user-space tools which don't
ship with the system.
