For sure Parallels will work under 4 GB. That's what I have on my MacBook Pro and I know it worked even back when I had just a Core 2 Duo on my previous MBP (the new Air out-performs that handily).
But will it be fast enough for you? That's a more personal question, which I can't answer. One person's painfully slow is ok for another. It might be a good idea to wait a few weeks and see if you can find reports of folks running Parallels on the new MBA's and what they think about it.
Certainly Parallels would run faster on a comparably equipped 8 GB machine. But then you'd lose out on the light weight and small footprint (if you were considering the 11") of the Air.
