Yes, oddly the way to specify this is to add

 <qemu:commandline>
  <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
  <qemu:arg value='cirrus-vga.vgamem_mb=8'/>
 </qemu:commandline>

to the domain xml. However, when I tried adding that in precise it
seems to immediately disappear. It could be something odd about my
setup so is worth your trying it.
