There was an *excellent* (while it lasted) PvP 4E Orcslayer game on rpol.net a couple of years ago, with great maps and hidden movement. But the GM heavily modified things to fit using PCs on both sides -- instead of a few 100-point PCs versus a dozen 30-point orc mooks, I think the first fight was 6 125-point humans versus 6 100-point orcs. (And almost everyone died on both sides.)

I think you can just play it straight without a lot of conversion. Axes are better in 4E than in Man to Man, so all those axe-wielding orcs get better. But it's not like the original adventure was perfectly balanced for any particular group of PCs. If you have tactically astute players with combat monster characters, you'll need more or better orcs than if you have clueless players with well-rounded characters.
