Developer of ParseKit here.

I'm sorry I don't have a good answer for you. I have some outdated docs on how to use ParseKit in your iOS application using Xcode 3.

However, I've just tried to go through the process of embedding ParseKit.framework within a Mac OS X app using Xcode 4, and I honestly could not figure out how to do it in Xcode 4. I am baffled.

What I can say, is that embedding ParseKit.framework in your Mac app should not be very different from embedding any other framework in your Mac app. There's nothing particularly special or unusual about ParseKit in this regard. The problem is I just can't figure out how to do that at all in Xcode 4.

Here's Apple's documentation on how to do this:

Embedding a Private Framework in Your Application Bundle > Using Separate Xcode Projects For Each Target

Unfortunately, Apple's docs are also out of date, and also describe the process in Xcode 3.

I have asked a question here on Stack Overflow to try to solve this problem.
