I don't use the gentoo qemu package, I build my own from the git repo, so my answer may not apply to you. Qemu supplies two different binaries: one you can run as an unprivileged user (usually named qemu-i386 or whatever) and another that needs special privileges (usually named gemu-system-i386 or whatever). (Qemu will also take advantage of hardware virtualization via the kernel modules if it's configured that way, but you need to use the -kvm flag on the command line to make it work.) I always use the qemu-system-i386 flavor so I don't even know how to use the userspace version. Someone else here will surely know how.
