[root@vaioz Videos]# repoquery --requires qemu
qemu-img = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-system-arm = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-system-cris = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-system-m68k = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-system-mips = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-system-sh4 = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-system-x86 = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16
qemu-user = 2:0.15.1-4.fc16

qemu is a metapackage: an empty package that requires other packages.

I haven't used Boxes myself yet, so I can't comment on it.
