So I had an idea for a tribe of goblins that were also half orcs. Mechanically I was just gonna treat them as Base goblin attribute wise (or oversized as both would exist) and add the following half orc abilities:
Orc Ferocity and Orc Blood (goblin instead of human) and allow them to qualify for feats/features half orcs can get.
Is there a more mechanical way to do this rule wise?
I mean you could just create a new race with the race points system, if that's what you're asking? I don't see any reason why not.
But... just how? And do I even want to know?
Like how do they mate? My idea was either forced breeding as slaves (trying to breed gladiators) or genetic experimentation

If one of the parents is an oversized goblin (for which stats do exist), there should be no size discrepancy issue.
Yup
With half-ogres and the like existing already, it boggles the mind that someone would think that the primary barrier between orc/goblin relations was size difference.

I don't think anyone was thinking that, though it's best not to think too much on how the size difference works out logistically.
Ogres are notorious for breeding with basically anything they can get their paws on.
We have half-dragons. Let's just say fantasy characters can be awfully courageous in their choice of mate.
I have come to lay the dragon! Wait you meant slay? Can we still do the dragon first?
The issue with taking racial heritage is the creature is more Orc than Goblin mechanically wise, it would just open Goblin features. I needed the full Goblin’s features with access to Orc Blood and ferocity to allow the Feral Gnasher access to the bleeding bite rage power only half orcs get.
