you can do achieve this without sudo using a unix group and policy kit
like explained here:

http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-kvm-and-libvirt-on-centos-6.2-with-bridged-networking

(I am no fan of howtoforge, but this one is nice). Bonus points if you
have an ipa/ldap environment  for your groups/users.
