Brak’lul: Qo’noS is a harsh environment, unforgiving to the weak. Klingons posses duplicates of many of their vital organs to help them survive. Called brak’lul, this redundancy, which includes an eight-chambered heart and two livers, makes it harder to kill a Klingon.

* Elemental Resistance (1): DR 5 against fire or electricity (depending what energy you substitute for phaser weapons)
Warlike Demeanor (Weakness approx -1): Klingons suffer a -2 penalty on diplomacy checks when dealing with non Klingons.
Fearless (1): +2 racial saving throws against fear
Weapon Familiarity (1): Klingons may use their traditional special melee weapons (such as the bat'leth, d’k tahg, and mk’leth) as if they had the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat

I might have suggesting going with the Standard Array for Vulcans: +2 Strength, +2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma (0). Vulcan lack of emotion (and arrogance in the new movie timeline) would would work against their Charisma.
But Vulcans, a culture devoted to knowledge should have the the Linquist Array (2).
Great thread idea. I've been watching tons of ST:TNG on Netflix lately while I write campaign and encounter ideas, so I'm totally game. I don't have the playtest on this computer, but later I might take a stab at a race (Romulan? Ferengi? Betazoid? Android?).
But for now, a quick thought on your Klingon:
I think Brak'lul should translate crunchwise into something that worked like fortification (critical/sneak miss chance). I don't know the value of that in RP. My first thought is 3 or 4.

I'm not sure about negative Charisma modifiers, since then almost any alien race would have them. How about an additional drawback, like a penalty to diplomacy checks? Otherwise this is of course an option.
I also thought of Linguist Array. However it's hard to quench every aspect into 10 Points. Linguist is certainly a candidate.
The idea is to make other thinks like mind meld or nerve pinch available as racial feats later.

Good idea. I'd tend to critical miss chance.
I also have another drawback
Due to their physiology they suffer a -2 penalty on any medical diagnosis or treatment used on a Klingon, by a non Klingon.

The "Flexible" attribute array, cost 2 points. Going to a "Standard" array, costs 0 points.

So does this racial feature grant any actual mechanical benefit?

Spell-like Ability: touch of fatigue 1/day (1)
Tricky, because Deltans, in the Wrath of Khan novelization, in particular, are described as highly intelligent, particularly in areas of mathematics and music, keenly intuitive, and almost supernaturally compelling and attractive. In theory, a bonus to Intelligence or Wisdom would also be appropriate, but I decided to limit their 'insight' to a Sense Motive bonus and ignore the math/music thing (with the +2 Charisma already ensuring that they'll be better than average at Perform checks).
The ability to kill humans via emotional overload by sleeping with them seemed totally over-the-top (and situational as all heck), so I watered it down to the ability to use touch of fatigue via a kiss.
Eternal Hope (+2 saves vs. fear and despair, reroll a single roll of '1' on a d20 1/day) just kind of 'felt right.'

The Star Trek online game has some 'racial abilities' under different alien character options, that might be fun to pillage for this sort of project. Online guides mention some of these options.
Prime Directive also had some racial abilities for RPG use, although I'm not sure those would be available online...
Several years ago, I did a lot of work on a fan-made Star Trek d20 game using a lot of the racial abilities and skills from the Decipher CCG and altered d20 Modern classes. I wonder where all that stuff is...
In any case, it's work that, without a license, I can't really do anything with, but I'm watching this thread closely to see what other cool stuff people come up with.

Much of this work has already been done.

Nice work: Some abilities are really over the top in star trek universe, but the idea is exactly what you did. Find a 10 point configuration that works.
I also use the memory alpha wiki for research. Especially the Physiology sections, which contains pretty every much you need for a pathfinder translation.
Thanks for the other link

Considering some feeback I have redone Klingons and Vulcans. If you find Vulcans to powerful. I'd suggest to drop the bonus on perception.
Klingons
TYPE
Humanoid (0)
SIZE
Medium (0)
BASE SPEED
Normal (0)
ABILITY MODIFIERS
+2 Strenght, +2 Constitution (2)
LANGUAGES
Common, Klingon, plus 7 bonus languages (depending on Intelligence score) (1)
RACIAL ABILITIES
Forcefull Personality: Klingons recieve a +2 bonus on intimidation checks. (2)
Warlike Demeanor: Klingons suffer a -2 penalty on diplomacy checks when dealing with non Klingons. (-2)
Brak’lul: Qo’noS is a harsh environment, unforgiving to the weak. Klingons posses duplicates of many of their vital organs to help them survive. Called brak’lul, this redundancy, which includes an eight-chambered heart and two livers, makes it harder to kill a Klingon. When you would normally be subject to a critical hit or precision damage, there is a 25% chance that that additional damage will be ignored. You also gain a +10 racial bonus against stunning attacks. However due to their physiology they suffer a -2 penalty on any medical diagnosis or treatment used on a Klingon. (4)
Spined: Klingons have ridged spines, chests and feet. They gain a +1 natural armor bonus. (2)
Weapon Familiarity (1): Klingons are proficient with their traditional special melee weapons (such as the bat'leth, d’k tahg, and mk’leth) (1)

RACIAL ABILITIES
Skill Bonus: +2 racial bonus on perception checks (2)
Desert Runner: Having evolved on a planet which was mostly desert, Vulcans developed ways of surviving in desert conditions Vulcans receive a +4 racial bonus on Constitution checks and Fortitude saves to avoid fatigue, exhaustion, or other ill effects from running, forced marches, starvation, thirst, or hot or cold environments.
Poison Resistance: Vulcans gain a racial bonus on saving throws against poison effects equal to their Hit Dice.(1)
Telepathy: A Vulcan can forge a mindlink to on other willing creature he touches that has an Intelligence score of 3 or higher. The mindlink has a duration of 10 minutes and can be used two times per day. The Vulcan can communicate telepathically through the bond even if he does not share a common language. No special power or influence is established as a result of the bond. Once the bond is formed, it works over any distance (although not from one plane to another). If a Vulcan takes levels in a psionic class, he instead gains the Psionic Talent feat. (2)
Trance: Vulcans learned to gain conscious control of many of many body functions, allowing them to regulate their bodies to a high degree by simple will power. When injured a Vulcan could go into a trance-like state, using this ability to concentrate all of his or her energy onto repairing the injury.
When a Vulcan regains hit points by resting in a trance he recovers additional hit points equal to half his Constitution modifier (minimum +1). (2)
Arrogance: Vulcans suffer a -2 penalty on diplomacy checks when dealing with non Vulcans. (-2)
This one is fun:

Klingons: Fighter, Inquisitor, Barbarian
Vulcans: Psion, Cleric, Monk
Bajorans: Oracle (Light), Bard, Rogue, Cleric

If you play an early era game. You can perfectly use the gunslinger class. There should be rules about certain modern weapons floating around.
You can use them as written.
If you want to use laser weapons you can take this:
Laser Pistol
Dmg (s)1d6 Dmg (m) 1d8 Crit X4 Range 40 ft. Capacity 1 Weight 3
All attacks with a laser weapon are ranged touch attacks agsinst mundane armor. If your wear special combat armor attacks are performed as normal ranged attack.
Laser weapons do fire damage
Laser weapons have the scatter quality, however you do not need to change ammunition. You can switch between the modes as a swift action
A power cell holds enough power for 50 shots.
Treat a laser weapon as a magical item. In addition to high purchase costs you might need a licence to wear a laser weapon.
Phaser weapons work similar. They cause negative energy damage.
