The following command will create three monitors (stdio, vc and telnet
on port 4444):
# qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
-chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server \
-mon chardev=mon1,mode=readline \
-chardev vc,id=mon2 -mon chardev=mon2,mode=readline

Historically, libvirt had support to only one monitor: the one it uses. But
now they're working on supporting custom command-line options, so adding
new monitors should be possible I think.
Also, you can point libvirt to a script that opens an additional monitor
for you, some developers do this afaik.
