Only if the BIOS matches the virtual motherboard provided by Qemu .
For example, if the BIOS tries to configure a register controlling the
USB controller on the real motherboard, it will only work if the virtual
motherboard has the same USB controller at the same bus address.
The Qemu virtual motherboards are based on specific old Intel chipsets
combined with custom virtual chips such as the paravirtual disk controller.
It's the same problem as installing a BIOS from a completely different
motherboard on a different real motherboard, except you don't need a
soldering iron to repair the damage to virtual hardware.
