You have to do it other way round: expand the bits you did want globbing
after all.

alias find='noglob find'
'find'() { command find ${~1} "${(@)argv[2,-1]}"; }

(working around all the usual exciting interactions between functions and aliases)
which you can make smarter, to find the first argument with a -.

'find'() { 
  integer i=${argv[(i)-*]}
  command find ${~argv[1,i-1]} "${(@)argv[i,-1]}"
}

is the first-pass version.
