From what I have read and understood Orcs are believed to have been created by Morgoth capturing elves and twisting them into a mockery of the fair race.
In terms of increasing their population the word breed always seems to be used which would indicate that procreation occurs. As for the different races of the Orcs - such as the breed Saruman creates - I think that an already existing group of Orcs are twisted/altered by some kind of wizardry possessed by the creator...
Of course I could be wrong! <img src=smile.gif ALT="
