Although not explicitly identified by name, a lone Orc can be found in the "Shelob's Lair" level, fighting for his life against Shelob's children in a small, web-filled chamber. While it might not truly be Ufthak himself, it may still be a homage to his fate.
He can be left to fend for himself, but he will start fighting the player if they choose to save him from his attackers.
