The default postgresql package doesn't provide ossp-uuid-feature. You have to enable it via ./configure before compiling. So you have two ways to get this feature:

  1. compile postgresql yourself with --with-ossp-uuid-flag and install it via make install. (I don't recommend this)
  2. Download the postgresql package specifications via the tool asp. You can install it with sudo pacman -Syu asp and then do: asp checkout postgresql. Then you need to modify the PKGBUILD and insert the --with-ossp-uuid-flag inside of the build()-function. Then you can simply build the package and install it with makepkg -si. It is possible that you need additional dependencies. I haven't tested it, but it should work this way.
