I'd guess minicom. Something like

minicom -p /dev/pts/4

If you're wanting to connect the pty to a process rather than a user you can 
use "getty -Lnl ./mysctipt"

IIIUC You should be able to use the slave end of the qemu pty with pretty much 
anything you'd normally use for talking to a serial port.
