The source package is also on Sid. Try installing that using m-a (the Debian
way but I have also numerous times used sources from the site and compiled
manually and simply copied the .ko to it correct place), change that
modprobed/kqemu file and try again. I do not have XP images around to try but
qemu runs most everything.
For an alternative, you might try virtualbox (they have an opensource version,
a free binary and a paid product). Runs some stuff better then qemu, somewhat
different approach. But it does not run everyting qemu does.
