Why not do the opposite and have humans who follow The Greater Good. So much simpler and more likely.

1) thats Heresy! 
2) Nobody joins anyone. The factions are meant as seperate entities.
3) A Team in Apoc can temporary join, so its more "common foe" than lasting alliance.

Imperial Guard could join the Tau. Space Marines/guard could join Chaos.

Huh? No we were just talking about what's more likely a chapter of Space Marines joining the Tau or a group of Tau joining the Imperium.
I honestly think its more likely for the Space Marines to go rogue. Space Marines go rogue and commit heresy all the time. There is no recorded incidence of Tau doing the equivilant.

So to join chaos is the same as to join the Tau? Somehow, this does not sound comparable....
Maybe I was not precise enough.
The relations of chaos and IoM are a shared source. There is no such base with other factions.
So to say space marines go renegade and join chaos has anything to do with space marines joining any other group is ridiculos.
Tau got Farsight as renegade to the empire.
As controlled followers (like ants); Tau cannot leave if a etheral is around.

Nope. Although Tau Marines are highly, highly, highly unlikely its still 10 times more plausible than Tau mercenaries.

Space Marines are autonomous armies that fight when and where they like and sticking up for things they believe in is very common amongst them. Look up the Badab Uprising and the Celestial Lions for examples. Just because you've fallen out of favor with the Imperium doesn't mean you're automatically a Chaos Marine.
Further more if Astartes want to join Tauland The Etherals would say welcome aboard and be doing fist pumps behind closed doors at Etheral town.
On the flip side all humans even to mention the idea of working with the Tau will be immediately be burned at the stake. If psykers are available they will be burned at the stake for even thinking about it.

You don't know what autonomous means do you?
SM are autonomous but they are very loyal to the Emperor.
Tau however have shown that they will turn renegade just like SM.

They've fallen out of favor with the Etherals and vice versa but they have never done anything to harm their people. In fact a tau may not have killed another Tau in the last 6,000 years. They are fiercely loyal.

No, Tau have advanced from tribal to Space-Faring in 5,000 years, and they killed each other about 1,000-2,000 years into that, in their "Dark Time" Seach Tau in Lexicanum. WHAT NOW!

You're over exadurating how many marines turn renegade. It isn't really that many.
The point is Tau have had a history of turning renegade and becoming mercenaries.
SM however have a history of turning renegade and either working for Chaos or for the Emperor but being hunted.
Overall it's unlikely Tau would join a cult which basically wants them to die. It is possible they would work for an Ordo Xenos inquisitor for a time in return for supplies/equipment etc

With the Tau's complete inability to deal with Psykers, you could run a small Tau force under the control of a radical inquisitor. It's for the greatest good.
The problems would be how do these tau interact with other tau, and how does this force replace it's losses/replenish supplies? Cut your ties with the tau empire, and where do you get more ammo/fuel from?
