There's no DHCP server built into the virtio driver. However, when you specify an IPv4 address in vmadm to a KVM guest, that gets transmitted to the guest by a small DHCP server in QEMU. In this case you should set the ip to 'dhcp' for the nics, which basically sets it up such that you can set the IP manually and not use the built-in DHCP server. In addition, you'll probably need to enable the appropriate antispoof options, otherwise the traffic from your VM will be dropped.
