There are scads of examples of attempted deicide in D&D lore.
Now mind you, it does depend on the methodology. By and large, gods consider it extremely dirty to gun for the faithful of a power, even if they would secretly like to do it themselves - it's the kind of behavior that immediately leaps to a slippery slope. Varakhuts also hate that one. The varakhuts also hate things like what Karsus pulled, where deicide is less the goal than a potential consequence of abrupt cosmic usurpation.
Ultimately, there is no guarantee that a varakhut won't show up to harass you, but history stands clear on this point: attempts have been made in the past, and will certainly be made in the future.
