{ghe'tor} seems to be the preferred form; it's used in KGT, Monopoly (MKE) and the paq'batlh (PB). AFAIK there wasn't anything in KGT about the spelling variation.
{ghe''or} in canon:
ghe''orDaq luSpet 'oH DaqlIj'e'
You belong in a black hole in the Netherworld! PK
{ghe'tor} in canon:
quvHa'; ghe'tor ngan rur
dishonored as an inhabitant of Gre'thor. KGT
ghe'torvo' narghDI' qa'pu'
when spirits escape from Gre'thor KGT
jIjegh ghe'torvo' narghDI' qa'pu'
I will surrender when spirits escape from Gre'thor. KGT
Hegh Duj DatIj 'ej ghe'torDaq Duqeng
"Barge of the Dead" ferries you to Gre'thor! MKE
ghe'tor 'el qeylIS
Kahless Enters Gre'thor PB
