As Marcelo points out, by default QEMU listens on localhost for VNC
consoles.
If you grep vnc out of the qemu.conf, you'll get hints at a bunch of
different options.
More than likely you want the vnc_listen config parameter.
~]# grep vnc /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
vnc_listen = "X.X.X.X"
# over vnc_listen.
#vnc_auto_unix_socket = 1
#vnc_tls = 1
# default it to keep them in /etc/pki/libvirt-vnc. This directory
#vnc_tls_x509_cert_dir = "/etc/pki/libvirt-vnc"
# certificate signed by the CA in /etc/pki/libvirt-vnc/ca-cert.pem
#vnc_tls_x509_verify = 1
#vnc_password = "XYZ12345"
#vnc_sasl = 1
#vnc_sasl_dir = "/some/directory/sasl2"
#vnc_allow_host_audio = 0
# result into negative vnc display number.
I suspect (although I have not tested it) that the method Patrick suggested
tunnels through SSH.
[ Personally I don't use virt-viewer often and instead use virsh CLI along
with a VNC client if necessary. ]
