I found out how I did it:

1. Convert the Parallels .dmg with Disk Utility to a read/writeable .dmg and open it with a program which is able to show invisible files (f.e. Path Finder)

'Install' is only a program which directs to the installer's metapackage. It is invisible, so you need a special tool.

2. Open the invisible Install.mpkg's contents and open 'distribution.dist' with TextEdit.

3. Search for this sequence:
Code:
function pm_install_check() {
    var result = false;
    var cpu_check = system.run('./cpu_check');
    var is_vm_started = system.run('./vm_check');
4. Replace this line
Code:
 var cpu_check = system.run('./cpu_check');
with this one
Code:
var cpu_check = false
and save it. Now you can try to install. Info: Parallels 3 will be removed if you have it installed.

This method works at last for me as you can see below. But I'm not continuing installing because I know that it doesn't work on my machine. Good luck!
