Both rakudo 2012-01 and  nqp 2012-01 (which is what we are going to package)
work fine with Parrot 4.0.0 (as long as ICU support is enable). I am able to
build, test and run them without problems. As for version 2012-02, nqp needs
a newer (and IIRC unstable, hence "not packageable") Parrot, that's why I went
for 2012-01.

Cheers
