I need to program a pro-mini from a wireless set-up.
Can an Arduino pro-mini be remotely programmed with an nRF24L01
if not, any suggestions on a simple and low cost solution?

When you reprogram an Arduino, any program it's running stops in favour of the bootloader.
How then are you going to read the nRF24L01 if there is no program running on the Arduino to read it?
Your question is of the sort: "How can I drive my car with no engine to the garage to have a new engine put in it?"
It's possible. I've seen instructions on how to do it with an XBEE module.
Question: do you want it to be totally hands-free programming or are you able to reach the reset button? If you can press reset, then a plain serial connection from the radio module to pins 0 and 1 is all you need. If you can't reach the reset button then you need a radio module that provides a spare output - some may be able to provide the DTR line like a FTDI chip does.
