There's actually quite a few minor gods, and the list is growing all the time--but they're the sort of thing that show up in the regional and race books rather than the core book that tends to focus on the most well known gods. I think there really is a concern that the writers don't want to overwhelm everyone with god bloat.
This might just do you though:

Hell, every darn setting I know lacks a deity of Blood*, so I had to make one for my own setting.
I also gave most of the evil ones the sin domains from 3.5e, and linked four of the deities to the seasons.
* = At least an interesting or non-evil one...

Key phrase: Non-evil. I think every one of the ones on that list is evil, except Gorum.
(EDIT:) Yes, just checked them all, the only non-evil one is Gorum, who is CN.
Fandarra is bloody
I find the idea of a non evil blood good strange.
What would (s)he be about?
Gorum is about fighting and bloodshed, to include blood in his portfolio is believable. But else?

A god of donations?

The one in my setting is True Neutral. She's about pretty much anything blood-related, from patching up bleeding wounds to shedding blood.

And reading the flavour on him, that one is a bit of a headscratcher (in my opinion).

Family (blood) relations? The sanguine humor (of blood) which led to optimism and happiness? Sealing oaths (with blood)? Self sacrifice and hardship? Atonement for wrongs?
Just the first I could think of.

Eh, he's your generic war deity, not much different in concept and execution from Tempus in FR - brutal, bloodthirsty, violent, and unpredictable, but not actively malevolent, intentionally spiteful, or deliberately destructive in a method that would tip him over the south side of the scale. He seems to fit CN just fine... unlike Tempus's rival Garagos in FR, who I could not for the life of me figure out why he hadn't dropped to CE yet.
Greyhawk's Kord was actually the odd man out, being a decisively Good-aligned, honor-and-glory focused war god.

Blood is like water, too much of it is a terrible thing but the right amount keeps you alive. A non-evil god of blood could be about personal sacrifice, family, the life force inside you, to some extent honor. When someone fights to the blood it is instead of to the death, so in that regard blood is merciful. In some games blood magic is used to heal others at the expense of the caster, so non-evil does not seem unreasonable. And 1 of 14 seems like it is way out of proportion.
Pharasma has the whole neutral deity of death and birth thing pretty well covered, even if "blood" isn't explicitly in her portfolio.
