Lots of Hsunchen in Fronela, but I think the former occupants (or their former culture, at any rate) of Charg and Jonatela were authenticly "barbarian", though I agree, likely to be lots and lots different from the "norm". Non-Heortling almost certainly, perhaps non-Vingkotling too. Don't know of "intact" examples of any barbarian culture there.

The Norse types seem to have been associated at least in part with Freyja, if I recall my (strictly Pop) knowledge of Norse myth correctly. (And with Odin too, I think.) The goddess of Sex and Death, and Pendragon puts it in endearingly tabloid fashion. ;-) I can't think of a close analogue in Glorantha, at least not an "Orlanthi" one.
