Simply adding "Umbreans have weapon familiarity with the Umbrean Waraxe" wouldn't address this, IMHO.

While it doesn't solve the problem of races being proficient with martial wepaons they shouldn't be, it does allow certain races to treat exotic weapons like martial weapons - i.e.: people trained to fight can use them normally. It's called "Weapon Familiarity" - check out the dwarf, gnome & half-orc in the PHB for some examples. There is a mechanic in D&D 3.5 which might handle this.
