Well, as I said, I wouldn't have done it quite like that myself...
I think there clearly are cults which replicate (or gateway to) the "all male" functions of Orlanth. I just don't think it's generically Vinga. (OTOH, one might argue that the simplest explanation for, say, Kallyr, is precisely along those lines, as regards her chieftain, queen (and general leadership) abilities. In fact, that part of the "gateway" seems a little _more_ natural than say, Vingan lawspeakers and stormvoices, but maybe I'm just highly suggestible...)
