I feel like there might have been at least a few benevolent warp entities before the birth and growth of the chaos gods. Keep in mind, the Warp reflects the thoughts and beliefs of  psyker-sensitive creatures in realspace, meaning that other strong emotions like love, hope, or courage could at one point had entities of their own (case in point, Eldar mythology, in which the Eldar gods could have been warp entities before they died).

As of now though, I feel like most Warp Entities are split between Chaos and The Emperor, as they have the two largest cohesive followings in realspace. I belive The Emperor does not have any native 'warp entities' of his own, but rather the spirits of Imperial Saints and Martyrs who have died and then briefly return when the Imperium needs them the most. Any benevolent native warp entities are probably devoured by the Chaos Gods, as they are likely to be much much weaker than them.
