It's possible, although there is not really a nice solution for it. I do this kind of "prioritizing" by shaping packets that the router can send to the machines in my LAN, which basically reduces to "drop anything that comes in too fast", in your case "drop uucp packets if they come in too fast". Not really nice since packets have to be re-sent, but for me this is still better than letting one file transfer hog the whole line forever when I need bandwidth for interactive sessions.
