is it possible to get value of parameter "sequence"  (even/odd/first)
of page to template which catching <para> tag?

I need to place text notes beside some paragraphs and in dependence
on even/odd page it will be on left/right side beside the paragraph.
Notes I  realized by new atribute <para marginal="bla bla bla ...">.

This is not possible as page number (odd/even) is known only during the formatting phase which is done after XSLT transformation. However if you are using XEP as FO processor you can place marginalia inside fo:float and use float="outside|inside" to place marginalias on either inner or outer edge of two-sided print.
