At least with the Paralllels v2 that I use disabling Intel VT-x support 
gets things going for general NetBSD operation. I hear that flag's not 
available at least in the latest Parallels version.[1]

See here for a screenshot of what I mean:

[1] Not being able to disable this any more in current Parallels
     versions, and the fact that Parallels  v2 occasionally brings my
     machine's CPU load to 100% after upgrading to Leopard on startup makes
     me currently think about getting a Fusion license.
