Yes.

Type "savevm /path/to/save.file".  Qemu will save out the current state to
that file.

Now, quit the emulator and drop to a command line.  To load your saved
session, type you're normal qemu command line, but add "-loadvm
/path/to/save.file" to the end.  For example:

qemu -hda ./MYWINIMG.img -cdrom -boot c -loadvm /path/to/save.file

That should do it.

Pretty damn cool :)
