I scared myself earlier playing the SkyFactory mod.
I used my saplings to make dirt, but then realised I didn't have any saplings to grow trees with.
Luckily I had seeds to make more trees, but if I didn't, what could I do to rectify the situation? Am I just completely screwed?
Do I have any means of getting an extra sapling if I would be to lose all my ways to make trees?

That depends on how far you are in the game. As usual in modded Minecraft, there are many ways to get something.
When you hover over a sapling in the Not Enough Items (or however that variation of the mod is called) item list and press R (or another key, if you changed the keybind), you should see all possible ways to get that item.
In the case of saplings I'm pretty sure that I've seen it in a lootbag before, so you could build a mob farm. As long as you have some opaque blocks, that should be possible.
But in general it's always a good idea to leave a few saplings save in a chests that you never use, just in case. It's like the skyblock equivalent of "never dig straight down".
1If you have a sieve you could sift dirt. However, this is a tough challenge due to the low drop rate.
