The 3.3.6 kernels are exclussively versatile express so you must use -M 
vexpress-a9

This is because your initramfs does not contain the mmci driver.  There 
is a workaround installed in the current set of images being generated 
right now.  I just booted and tested this one:

You might find the 'boot-vexpress' and 'boot-vexpress+x' scripts, not to 
mention the prebuilt initramfs in this archive to be helpful:

 [palosanto@virthost
 fedora-17]$ /home/palosanto/programa/qemu-build/arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm

 -initrd boot/initramfs-$KERNELVER.img -append root=LABEL=rootfs
 console=ttyAMA0 audit=0 -hda fedora-17-arm.vmdk
 
 If I just replace KERNELVER to 3.3.6-3.fc17.armv5tel , the boot
 process just hangs.
 
 If I specify -M vexpress-a9, I can sort of boot the kernel. However
 no block device matching the disk image appears anywhere, so the boot
 process drops to an debug shell, like this:

use -sd for your disk not -hda and you have to use -M vexpress-a9

so something like 

/home/palosanto/programa/qemu-build/arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm
- -nographic -m 256  -M versatilepb -kernel boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELVER
- -initrd boot/initramfs-$KERNELVER.img -append root=LABEL=rootfs 
console=ttyAMA0 audit=0 -sd fedora-17-arm.vmdk -M vexpress-a9 


should work it does with the qemu binarries shipped in Fedora 17
