I reckon the number of guards needed to make sure the Entwives would not escape would've made human slaves far more costeffective. After all, though the Entwives were not as wild as the male Ents I think they would still pose a formidable challenge to a band of Orcs. It is more likely that they were all killed in the Second Age when Sauron destroyed the lands of the Entwives, turning them into the Brown Lands.
They were killed? Treebeard'll be dissapointed....
