A slow genetic drift over a very long period (a few centuries) might be enough to get the orks to start becoming more civilized. You start by reducing their aggressiveness by a small tolerable level, then once all the current orks die (which won't be too long), you lower it again.

That's the plan for Large Sticks Speaks Softly. Some parts of the Culture might say that's making an entire new race, but Large Sticks Speaks Softly hopes to preserve some of their culture through the transition to make a race that can stand on its own.
