There are some variant rules out there. See
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=3516 as one example. You may also find some other stuff in the The One Ring House Rules section of this site, and MERP certainly did some stuff you might be able to utilise.
Generally I don't think it's done very often. See
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6405 for some general opinions on this topic.

If you want to do that (without actually having a 'bad guy' campaign, then Saruman's Half-orcs and Goblin-men might be your best bets. They are written up as adversaries in Horse-lords of Rohan.

Well My idea for the game would be starting during The Second age going forward.

I'm imagining an Orcs-as-PCs campaign inspired by The Free State of Jones.

I would recommend looking at some of the old MERP stuff. They had orcs as playable race and did some good work you may be able to get inspiration from.
