Hmm, using 32-bit qemu binaries, it boots into the 32-bit kernel for me when I 
use
the $QEMU_HOME/bin/qemu binary, and it boots into the 64-bit kernel when I use
$QEMU_HOME/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.

In this test I didn't used the kqemu module.  qemu was compiled from CVS.
Host is a current Nevada box, using an amd64 X2 socket AM2 cpu.

Guest is a snv_55b install, bfu'ed to opensolaris 2007-03-02.

So, at least with this combination, I'm unable to reproduce the issue...
