You could always make a Mystcraft age that's a desert (if you have the creative Notebook).
Alternatively, bees provide honey comb which when centrifuged provides beewax which can be turned into the waterproof stuff.
I got rather lucky. Spawned on a redrock mountain right next to a desert/extreme hills/plains.

Fortunately almost any bee you come across from hives are able to produce combs that make beeswax, so it's as easy as making a few apiaries, a few frames, and go hunting for some bees to fill them with, no funky breeding necessary.
Ironically, one of the best species to do that with is the desert-dwelling bees, due to their nocturnal status and the fact that it doesn't rain in the desert, letting them produce 24/7. At least until you find Eternal Day and No Weather symbols.

I had the same problem. I explored 2km in all directions from my HQ and not a single desert to be found. The downside of Extra Biomes I guess. I ended up just creating about a dozen Mystcraft ages. ~10 to populate my notebook, then another one with 2 desert biome variants. Popped in, found cactus not 100m from where I was dropped off.
Although the way this world is going I probably won't need too much of it. I've made 5 liquid pipes. 2 to connect my steam engines to my AA and another 3 to get my Magma Crucible connected to my Igneous Extractor. From here on out I'll make obsidian via the MC->IE combo (portable tank FTW!). This will lead to the hardened glass I need for liquiducts. Once I played with them last world there's no way I'm going back to BC liquid pipes.
