Yes, there is in two variants that I know of :

1)  The UUCP "f" type protocol which I have only heard of, I have got the
    impression that this UUCP version runs over the X.25 network layer and
    is a SVR 5.2 soloution.

2)  On SVR 5.3 and SVR 5.4,  ICL has implemented the UUCP "e" type protocol
    to run over the Transport Level Interface ( TLI ) that AT&T supplied as
    a part of SVR5.3, Using the TLI we can use UUCP over the OSI transport 
    protocoll that sits on top of X.25 as Layer 4 in the OSI model. This
    also works with OSI protocol on Ethernet.

Hope this helps 

Lars.
