Of course, a lot of the so called monster deities have already been given the 3.5 treatment. The orc pantheon was done in that Forgotten Realms book (Faiths and Pantheons?), as well as the Drow pantheon. And there have been some here in the pages of Dragon, like Panzuriel in the recent issue. For a really good source, try the DnD website run by Wizards of the Coast. The Living Greyhawk page has a file on deities that is pretty impressive.

Most deities of monster-races have already been described in several books. You'll find some in the monster-books (Draconomicon, Lords Of Madness, Libris Mortis) and some in campaign-specific books like Serpent Kingdoms, Underdark etc. .
I can't remember if Savage Species had a section on monster deities. As already mentioned you can find additional gods in some of the ecology-articles in Dragon.
The Monster Manual 3.5 edition's online errata .pdf also has a Deity, Alingnment, Portfolio, Domain chart if that's any help. I like seeing info on gods too (I love mythology) but to be honest the D&D's use of gods, alignment and religion never made much sense to me. So like everything else about the game I pick and choose what I want to use and then makeup my own history or better yet let the players take a hand in constructing the panteon.
I started my current campaign with the players each choosing a god out of my 1st Edition Deities and Demigods. We ended up with Zeus, Odin, Ptah, Ra, and Quezalcoatl (basically the heads - and former head in Ptah's case - of some major earthy pantheons). I explained to them that thay were facing the the Ragnarok and that most of their supporters had already fall in battle to powerful alien gods (any guesses?) and that all hope seemed lost and then I asked them what they wanted to do. The gent playing Zeus went about creating a new race of demigods in typical Zeus fashion. When the final battle came, Ptah quit the plane of battle, Ra fell from the sky, and might Zeus loosed the last of his lightning bolts and all hope really was lost. Odin rose from the broken reamins of his magical 8-legged horse and used something like 10 divine wishes to banish everyone back to whence they came (fatal for the remaining gods as most of their realms had been destroyed). But because of Zeus there where a set of New Gods waiting in the wings to take up the mantle of the fallen and rebuild civilization. Unfortunately these gods don't know much of the world as it was before. Nor do they know that in shapechanging into the likeness of the crawling chaos they battled that Quetzalcoatl (a god native to the Prime Material Plane) became so like the banished alien deity that that for all intents and purposes he his that deity and still lurks in the depths of the Earth spawning aberrations.

I've noted before that you have a twisted mind... Not that that can't be a good thing.
