Yes.  [Fabulously useful technique, by the way; I have set up some
very complicated test configurations on a single fiber this way.]

You need to bridge to the guest's interface.  I think this is the
minimum example you'll need as a hint:

ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig vlan11 create
ifconfig vlan11 vlan 11 vlandev ti0 up
qemu -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:00:12:12:01 -net tap,ifname=/dev/tap0,vlan=0 
disk.image
ifconfig bridge0 addm vlan11 addm tap0 up
