Maybe the ossp-uuid package will do and you can set BUILD_DEPENDS = devel/uuid. For another port (geo/cdo, not yet committed), I had to specify --disable-util-linux-uuid --disable-dce-uuid for configure, so that it would use ossp-uuid. That configure script supports three different uuid packages. Marco
