Well, after extremely little searching into the matter, I couldn't find anything quite like what I'm suggesting, or at least I don't think I found anything particularly like it.
What I would like to see in Minecraft is the ability to essentially turn Zombie Pigmen into villagers. Not change them from their frankeswiney sort of selves, but instead befriend them after giving them something. This could be accompanied by non-hostile action towards the player until the zombie pigman is reduced to half health at the player's hand, rather than immediately moving in for the kill at the slightest discretion, punch, or egg, and include the ability of giving them their own home based on a 9x9x2 block open space, minimum, with a door. Most importantly, this could come with the zombie pigman no longer counting as a hostile mob when the player tries to go to sleep. Zombie Pigmen with weapons could also act as guards against mobs such as creepers, zombies, skeletons, etc.
This idea occurred to me when a Zombie Pigman came through the portal, I felt like loading it up with iron armor (despite being killed by an unarmored one earlier), and wanting to befriend it, only to find out that such a thing wasn't going to happen currently.
My once fully outfitted zombie pigman guard lost his helmet. A shame, but he still waits on my island. \
Well this topic isn't about normal pigmen. Personally I feel that should be an optional aesthetic choice, not an ultimate factor in deciding whether or not the pigman tries to kill you simply because you accidentally hit him with an axe while cutting down a tree.

Edit: In fact, I think I will make a suggestion on that.
