virt-manager will happily use bridging for KVM guests if you setup your
host so that its physical interfaces are part of a bridge. There's a
guide here:

http://watzmann.net/blog/index.php/2007/04/27/networking_with_kvm_and_libvirt 

Basically we recommend bridging (configured in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts)
for machines with permanent wired ethernet connections. We recommend the NAT
based virtual networking for machines with dynamic connections (eg Networkmanager)
or using wireless / VPN / dialup.
