They can spawn naturally... but not in the nether!
There is a small chance that a portal block will spawn a zombie pigman. However, in the overworld, anytime a zombie, villager, or zomebie pigman spawns there is a chance to spawn the child form. I observed this one time...
Wait, what?
I see baby zombie pigmen all the time in the nether. They were added in 1.6.2 (not 1.6.1). I never see zombie pigmen of any kind spawn in the overworld although they occasionally travel through a portal.
And why did you ninja this thread to post misinformation that could easily be found in the wiki?

*Facepalm* They can spawn in the Nether, get your facts straight. Worse yet, you necroed this thread. *Facepalm*
Question. If a baby pig is struck by lightning does it make a baby pigman?
Possible way to get it in vanilla perhaps?
No, if a baby pig is struck by lightning it will not become a baby pig zombie. I should know because I have tried it myself and it didn't work. Baby zombies will spawn sometimes in the overworld but you will need to go to the Nether to see baby pigzombies. Unfortunately, normal baby zombies, baby pig zombies will not drop anything. If you want to see a baby zombie(not villager infected) I suggest getting TMI(Too Many Items) it will give you a baby zombie spawner in single player.
What the crap are you guys talking about?
There's baby zombie pigmen galore in my Nether and I'm in Vanilla, version 1.6.4.
There's one in nearly every group of Zombie Pigmen I see.
I'm also in hard mode.
You guys don't go to the Nether very often...
Baby zombie pigmen/baby zombies where added in 1.4. If a baby villager gets killed by a zombie, they can turn into baby zombies. But, for the zombie pigman baby, you can't get them unless you spawn/hack them in somehow. Kinda like the zombie and skelaton horses in 1.6.
Alright, time to show off some screenshots since people keep saying they aren't natural spawning...
Here it is in the distance, had to do a bit of walking around so it would finally spawn.
It's right in the center of the image.
And here it is up close.
I have no mods installed and I used no sort of cheats to get it to spawn.
Completely natural, walking around in survival mode.
Baby zombies and baby zombie pigmen have a small chance of spawning on their own in their respective dimensions.
