There's no way to currently do that.

 I deleted the uucp user from the /etc/passwd file and now make world

 The line that fails is:
 mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist -p /
 
 This makes me wounder about the BSD.root.dist file... I don't use ppp
 either.  Should I have my custom BSD.root.dist file, or is there a way

The mtree files should be getting updated via mergemaster, so you
shouldn't have any trouble with making a local modification and
keeping it through system updates.

It's probably more safer to keep the users there, though.  Their
default login information doesn't give them any system access
capabilities, so their presence isn't a risk.
