Actually in the core Mahout SVN there is not parallel implementation of any 
aspects of the HMM approach yet. Nevertheless Dhruv Kumar implemented during  a 
google summar of code a paralyzed Baum Welch algorithm.

There was a discussion 2 days ago about HMM:

Here is the patch:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-627

Keep in mind that executing machine learning in parallel is on going research.
