I think there is a variant racial ability for tieflings.
went over the entire teifling chart no ability allows 2h weapons in 1h
Wraithstrike was probably thinking of the 16: "You have oversized limbs, allowing you to use Large weapons without penalty" ability.

Nothing for weapons in general, but plenty of things for specific weapons. Off hand I can think of;
Thunder and Fang (requires a klar in the other hand)
Quarterstaff Master (add Spear Dancing Spiral to extend to more weapons)
Dorn Dergar Master
Bladed Brush
Shield Brace (requires shield in other hand)
Phalanx Soldier 3rd level (requires shield in the other hand)
Ammo Drop
Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword
Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Dwarven Waraxe
Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Great Terbutje
Lance while mounted or with Natural Jouster

Dunkerson missed one
Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Katana
that just allows you to use large weapons not 2h weapons in one handwent over the entire teifling chart no ability allows 2h weapons in 1hWraithstrike was probably thinking of the 16: "You have oversized limbs, allowing you to use Large weapons without penalty" ability.
True but:
A large Scimitar is almost as good as a Falchion.A large Warhammer is identical to an Earthbreaker.
A large Bastard Sword is better than a Greatsword.
Depends what weapon(s) you're looking at.
Ahhh right. Thats what I get for going off memory and not re-reading it. Oh well. :)
What exactly are you trying to do?
Just have a light weapon "sidearm" for when you need to do something with one hand. You can hold your 2H weapon in 1 hand while using your other hand with the light weapon. You won't count as wielding the 2H for things like threatening or AOOs until you regrip it again with both hands.
If the primary reason for this is dealing with grapples there are other methods that work just as well.
One such method would be Escape Artist +Liberating Command.
I generally recommend ranks in Escape Artist to allow you a very good 'get out of grapple' option when combined with an allied spellcaster who can cast Liberating Command.
Between Grease, Liberating Command, and a decent number of ranks in Escape Artist the groups I am in are pretty much grapple proof.

Keep in mind (Grapple)
The weapon would still be Two Handed, and Grappling rules state the need for "light" weapons to be used while grappled.
A lot of folks forget that it is light weapons, not light and one handed weapons.
Light weapons are cheaper and can be just MW weapons if your penny pinching. Perhaps a light mace for those times you need bludgeoning weapons to pass DR?
Be aware also that One Handing any weapon would use one handed damage/effects when you wield it in that way. (Power Attack -1 for +2, for example), just as Two Handing a One Handed weapon used Two Handed damage/effects (Power Attack -1 for +3)

besides titan mauler barbarian is there any way to wield a 2h weapon of an appropriate size in 1h?
Easily, you undersize it. A Medium character can wield a Small 2h weapon in 1h. That's a -2 penalty on attack and a decrease in damage die, but it's otherwise the same weapon.
Really goofy with reach weapons, as they retain the reach property, which is based on your size, not that of the weapon, despite all common sense suggesting it doesn't work like that... But oversized weapons don't increase your reach, so lacking common sense in both directions.
Effortless Lace doesn't quite do what you want, but it is close.

It's light or one handed.
Grapple in combat section."Instead of attempting to break or reverse the grapple, you can take any action that doesn’t require two hands to perform, such as cast a spell or make an attack or full attack with a light or one-handed weapon against any creature within your reach, including the creature that is grappling you."
2h weapon in 1h:
Step #1, get Flambard and Bastard Sword proficiencies. Human w/ Military Tradition solves this at 1st.
Step #2, pick up Flambard in one hand and hit foe even though it's a 2 handed weapon.
Step #3, profit.
Flambard, Cost 50 gp Weight 6 lbs, 1d10 (medium); Critical 19-20/x2; S; Special sunder[ +4 bonus on any sunder attempts made against weapons with a wooden haft]; you may use this sword as a bastard sword.
already found a the feat lighten weapon which allows actual 2h weapons to be used in 1h as opposed to 1h weapons pretending to be 2h weapons that you need exotic weapon proficiency to use in 1h
As long as you and your GM know that that is a 3PP feat.

Yeah, when playing with non-pregenerated material (as in PFS) the best way to balance content is to allow both the players and the GM to use it.
As far as houserules go, I love that one. Buy the GM more books and you can use the content. GM gains a book, and you gain access to the rules within the book.
