Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be the generic (Greyhawk) DND deity equivalent of the Mystaran Immortals?

This may not be much help, but if you check out 2E's Warriors of Heaven, it has an appendix at the back of good and neutral deities that celestials can serve. Among them are the Mystaran immortals, pre-translated into D&D god ranks. Most of them seem to be intermediate gods. That'd certainly be a good place to start (or, perhaps, to finish).

You may try Mystara 3e (I know Im stating the obvious). I havent checked out since they got thier new site up, but they have alot Immortals and 3e conversions sections. I know in the past there was info comparing Mystara/Greyhawk deities and cosmological advice, etc.

Just going by the Greyhawk gods of the PHB, I'd go with:

Boccob = Rad
Corellon Larethian = Ilsundal
Ehlonna = Djaea
Erythnul = Alphaks
Fharlanghn = Odin, maybe?
Garl Glittergold = Garal Glitterlode
Gruumsh = Karaash
Heironeous = Halav
Hextor = Atzanteotl
Kord = Thor seems the closest
Moradin = Kagyar
Nerull = Thanatos
Obad-Hai = Zirchev (maybe)
Olidammara = Asterius
Pelor = Ixion
St. Cuthbert = Erg. Really not sure here. His stance with regards to the law and justice seems like either Forsetta or else Tarastia.
Vecna = I don't think Vecna's really got a good counterpart. If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Loki.
Wee Jas = Hel (possibly)
Yondalla = Tough one, as there aren't really any "halfling" specific Immortals. Her portfolio sounds a bit like Petra, though.

I'll look through my other Greyhawk deities in a bit and see if I can come up with some other correspondences.

Question, though- how direct a match are you looking for? Just ideology? Or Ideology plus Power Level plus Gender? As seen above, Tarastia seems (to me) an ideological counterpart to St. Cuthbert, but they're different genders. And Boccob, IIRC, is a lot more powerful than Rad should be.
 

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I'm planning to run a few adventures in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos, but want to use the Greyhawk deities in place of the Immortals. That being the case, I would like the closest match in terms of idealogy and portfolio. Everything else is just extra.

Thanks!
