There's not that much magic involved when comparing how you do it with a real N900 vs QEMU. First you need to get the rootfs and kernel images built for N900, I'm using the prebuilt "MeeGo 1.0 for Nokia N900" images for this example (wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Releases/1.0). How to build images for the N900 is another topic altogether which I'm not going into here. Next, you need to get a NAND image for QEMU which contains a suitable bootloader for the N900. I think the easiest way is to use the existing QEMU N900 NAND image for the first MeeGo code drop (http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Meego_on_Qemu). "Flash" the new Meego N900 kernel in the QEMU NAND image, i.e. "qflasher -m rx51 -k meego-n900-open-armv7l-1.0.0.20100525.1-vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-11.2-n900 -o meego_qemu_nand.img -yk". You can get the qflasher tool from the same place where meego_qemu_nand.img is available. Now, just execute QEMU with the MeeGo SD card image built for the N900: "qemu-system-arm -M n900 -mtdblock meego_qemu_nand.img -sd empty -sd meego-n900-open-armv7l-1.0.0.20100525.1-sda.raw -serial stdio". The first "-sd" option is needed to bypass the internal memory card of the emulated device, here I'm just passing an empty file for it ("empty", a file I created simply by running "echo >empty"). The last option will get you the serial root console in the shell where you launched QEMU.
