A client application can set 'entryUUID' by sending the relax rules control
along with the add/modify request.

I used this in a migration project deriving OpenLDAP's entryUUID from Novell
eDirectory's GUID.

Of course the client app is then responsible for generating proper UUIDs. With
random UUIDs you might run out of entropy depending on how many you have to
generated within a certain time.
