I know this is starting to stray from the original topic, but I believe the Uruk-hai "birthing" scenes in Isengard were there to explain how Saruman could raise up a thousands-strong army in a matter of days/weeks, rather than to deny the possibility of Orcs having families.
Also, it's been emphasized many time in the books that evil can't create, only corrupt. I don't much like the movies going against this so I'll put forward this possibility: maybe the "mud pits" were actually some mechanism used to twist existing creatures or make them age more quickly? Basically an evil incubator. 
Even so, that's just for Saruman's Uruks so it's not relevant to the Azog/Bolg scenario either way. There must have been Orc-women in general and a Mrs Azog in particular (though I don't know if the movies will have anything to say about her... but now I almost kind of hope they do  ). All in all, I don't think it's any more unusual than there being female Wargs or spiders (hi, Shelob!) or any other baddie creature.
Anyway, this is an interesting topic so maybe I'll start another thread for it once I've had more time to organize my thoughts.

I hope they don't try to void it. Azog and Bolg are only unique in that their kinship is mentioned and specified,
