Did a quick test myself and it seems to work from what I can tell:

RHEL6 64-bit guest, QEMU master:

/home/mdroth/dev/kvm/qemu.git/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 
-numa node,nodeid=1 -numa node,nodeid=2 -numa node,nodeid=3 -drive 
file=/home/mdroth/vm/rhel6_64_base.raw,snapshot=off,if=virtio -bios 
/home/mdroth/dev/kvm/qemu.git/pc-bios/bios.bin -vnc :1 -m 1024 --enable-kvm
