Just a brief google shows this example of such a BB: Mavic Bottom Bracket - Bicycle Parts at discount prices / the Buyer's Guide / Bicycle Parts at their finest! / Professional Bicycle Source / Bike Pro
Availability is another matter, but such do exist.
Yeah, both races are seriously bent. Might I replace them with something like this? (I assume the races are the rings holding the bearing balls, right?)
