How's the challenge working out? I don't see any way to avoid annoying pigmen, so the only solution would be sticking to narrow tunnels so you can't get swarmed. Plan your killzones and fighting them one at a time should be managable.

Also without obsidian most of EE is off-limits apart from philosophers stone and energy collectors. Without the condenser all you can do is make fuel. Probably worth it for the energy though, use the collector to upgrade glowstone then transmute back to lots of coal. If this works well enough you could even skip geo-power.

Seems like without water the only route out is industrialcraft, and building a mass fabricator?
