Libvirt is currently incomplete for FreeBSD, and there is an effort to get
it fully supported right now. Libvirtd daemon should not start, and I would
be surprised if it did. QEMU drivers aren't enabled either, but if you
would like to contribute anything please contact me and I can get you in
contact with the right people to contribute. There is also efforts to
implement the BSD Hypervisor into the libvirt codebase, as well.

Thanks!
