According to GW (I think) they're fungal & spore. No females need apply.

Tolkien seemed to be implying some sort of cloning process in that they're manufactured.

Again, the "fairer" sex ain't needed.(this could explain why orcs are so angry)

Very convincing conversions.

Weren't the Uruk-hai created by breeding orcs with wild men? That's why they were able to operate in daylight with impunity.

A vision of loveliness.

While the 40K Orks do appear to spore I am not so sure about the WarHammer Orcs – and most fantasy authors seem to suggest that female (and baby) Orcs exist

Boy, that wild man woman must have been very drunk!

I believe Demonblade Games used to put out a modern looking SciFi female Ork. This was for the Warengine (formerly ShockForce) line when they used to make their own minis. She was dressed in a scantily tight dress and pumps. Brandishing an SMG. Yeah a real REAL woman. :)

Coyote ugly doesn't even begin to describe what it would be like to wake up in the morning with one of those lying next to you. I don't think there is any amount of Drunk that could get me there.

In the classic AD&D game there are half-orcs, so they must at least be able to reproduce sexually in Greyhawk/Oeth, Forgotten Realms/Toril/Faerūn and most generic D&D settings. On the other hand orcs in Hārn (who are more properly called Gargun) are egg laying and don't seem to be capable of interbreeding with humans or even other species of Gargun.

Of course your orcs may vary, and there's no reason they couldn't include some combination of the above.

In much of the background I've read about orcs it is implied that the many of the pairings that produce half-orcs are not mutually consensual. That being the case I don't much care for them as I'd like to keep my games free of such nastiness as that. On the other hand it's all well and good if your half-orc is the result of a dare to bed an orcish trollop that's fine.

Ion Age offers a female space goblin (Malik) with a big gun in one hand and a frying pan in the other.

I have sometimes toyed with the idea of extreme sexual dimorphism in Orcs. The females being drop dead gorgeous and the males being pig ugly.

How do orcs breed?

How do warthogs breed?

That's how it works in my marriage.

"Weren't the Uruk-hai created by breeding orcs with wild men? That's why they were able to operate in daylight with impunity."

nah, that's how Saruman's man-orcs came into being. I think the Uruks were just bred for size from the smaller Orcs.
