From what I've seen, if they had anything more complicated, a world with literally thousands of players simply would not ever DO anything substantial. I hear it's hard enough organizing a massive city raid to take over when there are just two sides. Something more complicated than that would sort of mess with things.
Oh yes, in the beta, the undead actually had "neural" status with the rest of the horde, rather then "friendly". An individual player could do quests for the other races to get on friendly terms though. If that's still the way things work, then I suspect the Blood Elves will be on neutral terms with the entire horde. Remember, there's no reason the blood elves should really be all that fond of the forsaken.
But yes, due to the nature of the "flow" of games like this, there really can only be 2, maybe 3, factions in this game max.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
