Does uBlock Origin even exist for Safari? If not, then I imagine it won't exist for this browser either, since it's just a wrapper around a macOS-provided, Safari-/WebKit-based webview.
Looks like the answer is no, Safari is not supported.
> ..as of 2022, uBlock Origin’s extension is available for several of the most widely used browsers, including: Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Opera, Firefox and all Safari releases prior to 13.
Orion is another WebKit browser that makes WebExtensions installable via its own extensions API. It's not perfect but it's miles better than anything Safari has and allows for existing Firefox/Chrome extensions to be installed. It only supports MV2 and won't be affected by the MV3 changes in Chrome world.
If DDG wanted to they could replicate this work to allow for MV2 WebExtensions to be installed.
It used to, but the developer pulled it after extensions were moved to the App Store (requiring an Apple dev account and certification) and some other technical restrictions introduced in Safari 14 IIRC.

Apparently, the only WebKit-based browser that can run uBO is Orion browser (beta, Mac only).
