Surely you can create your own OS templates, that is not that hard -- the basic idea is you install some packages in a chrooted environment and then create a tarball out of it. This tarball is to be put into /vz/template/cache and used during vzctl create stage.

So you have to create one, or find somebody who will create it, or wait when OpenVZ developers will create one (definitely not today).

As I said above, you need to install all the packages you need in your VPS into a chrooted environment (use rpm --root for that) and then tar the resulting environment into a gzipped tarball.
