That would be cool.

I can (eventually) see a DF Monsters book which is more heavily focused on undead / horror / "halloween" styled beasties... but not a dedicated DF book. Although from what's been said before about the Monster series, I know they want to keep the monsters in there fresh and unique rather than just repackaging the old classics (that has been done numerous other times in other GURPS books or on these very forums), as no-one would buy them if they did. So if we do see a DF Monsters X: Things that go bump in the night it wont have too many of your "classic" undead beasties in it anyway!

Plus, we already have Clerics, Holy Warriors (both who come in of death realm variants) as well as Necromancers (who also provide lots of zombie and ghost stats) as professions who play or slay undead. We also have DF 2 and GURPS Horror to give GMs a good idea of how to build and play dungeons and evil things... we even have MH as a worked example with plenty of tips of how to include and use various undead etc.

'DF Undead' would just be too narrow a scope and would cover too much ground already tread in too little detail to be of any use. If the necromancer hadn't have been already made then perhaps it could've done similar to Ninja and expand that profession a lot into a thin volume... but it has so it cant.
