I guess because it is linked into libfontconfig.so:

# ldd work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.so
work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.so:
        -lfreetype.19 => /usr/X11R7/lib/libfreetype.so.19
        -lz.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1
        -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
        -lbz2.1 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1
        -lexpat.2 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.2
        -luuid.1 => /usr/pkg/lib/libuuid.so.1
        -lintl.1 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.1
        -lgcc_s.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

The pkgconfig file claims it's a private dependency only though:

Requires.private:  uuid

so we might be able to just remove libuuid from the bl3.mk to fix
this.

I don't understand this part (from your third email):

+.  if !empty(USE_BUILTIN.fontconfig:M[Nn][Oo]) && ${OPSYS} == "NetBSD"
 .include "../../devel/libuuid/buildlink3.mk"
+.  endif

libuuid needs to be included when fontconfig is used from pkgsrc,
independent of OPSYS.
