Let's see...
Manwe - Jupiter
-lightning, winds, storms, eagles, etc.
Varda - Juno
-queen, associated with light
Tulkas - Mars
-fighting
Mandos - Pluto
-dead people
Ulmo - Neptune
-water
Aule - Vulcan
-smith, craftsman
I think those are all the really close comparisons, and they're all pretty obvious. The other Valar only resemble Greco-Roman deities in one or two characteristics. Vaire, for example, weaves, like Minerva/Athena, but that's as far as the similarity goes.
