Just on a pure rp aspect, what sort of storyline do you see for a neutral evil druid, that is drow?

Do you mean, what would prompt a Drow to become a Druid or something else?
The Druidic lifestyle being adopted in the Underdark is a rather interesting one. It is an unusual environment, being independent of sunlight and the seasons. Not to mention that it is one of the largest concentrations of Aberrant creatures, so one could make an argument that Druids are needed there to keep the balance in favor for Nature vs Aberration.
A Drow might also be intrigued by the idea of the Druidic nature, as it would allow them to still pursue a "Strong survive" type motto, while being able to eschew the political and social aspects of society. A Drow Druid might favor Spiders if they still honor Lolth, though Bats would certainly be handy for quick scouting.

I would see a survival of the fittest druid working very well in Drow Society. And as Waker pointed out there are numerous aberrations in the underdark. An aberration hunter druid who believes in the survival of the fittest would work well. Drow society is already very much about survival of the fittest anyway.

If it's a female drow, then she would have good Wisdom anyway, but would prefer the more natural aspects of coexisting with spiders than the clerical aspect (of praying all day; not running free with them).

If it's a male, then he would probably be very wise, yet denied entry to the priestesshood. His only other options would be to live with the denial or to become a Druid.

It was stated several times in several different sourcebooks that Druids are shunned from drow society, and are even hunted down and killed in most cases. They would be living either on their own in the Underdark, or might form a loose band of Vermin Keepers.
