It depends on what kind of effect you're looking for.

Warjournal was right on the money with the displacement thing. It's a very powerful tool.

However, if you look at a waving flag, like in car racing, it's pretty straight when it's being waved except for the the edge. There isn't much going on.

However, here is a pic of the usual flag waving image (it's about 30k .jpg):

It was done with a super simple displacement and some cosmetic touch ups.

:edit: Oh, and just let me know if you want the .psd for that image :edit:

If you opt for Displace, using the DMap for Lighting Effects is a good idea. You can even use Clouds/Difference Clouds somewhere for a more (or slightly) crinkly effect. Shading by hand, either entirely or just touch-ups, is also an option.

Smudge tool can work wonders, too.
