The qemu manpage where it talks about setting up a TAP interface to talk
to a bridge (br0 in the example) should set you on the right path. 
You'll also want to look at the brctl manpage.  Bridging lets the kernel
tie together several real and/or virtual interfaces, and in this case
can be set up to let your QEMU virtual talk to the LAN.

The vde switch it talks about later does not deal well with heavy traffic
and will go pear-shaped.
