No (except when opening a new blank epub). The only way to get Sigil to generate a new urn:uuid (that I know of) is to completely remove the <dc:identifier></dc:identifier> entry from the opf file. Unfortunately, this also has the rather unfortunate side effect of Sigil believing your opf is broken--so it creates a new opf from scratch. Something you definitely don't want happening.
Actually, you gave the solution:

1. Create a new blank epub, copy the uuid
2. Paste it into your original OPF
3. Edit the original NCX with your new uuid
4. Delete the new blank epub to avoid that ...
