qemu on Mavericks?

[MK-MacPorts at techno.ms]

I wanted to give qemu a shot - as an alternative for the currently non-functioning virtual box [1] …

	Anyone out there who’s successfully using qemu on Mavericks?

The small test linux image supplied by the qemu folks is running fine, but I am stuck installing OpenSUSE 13.1...
Either qemu is horribly slow or it is not able to successfully find USB devices for it at all. 
:-(

Greets,
Marko


P.S.: qemu likes to use kvm under Linux... Is this not supplied on MacOSX?
