I had to go to the box where I had installed nufraw with 2.8, so I
fired up that old system.  I cannot see any obvious way to edit how
a raw image should be opened in 2.8.  But nufraw is working there,
so I looked in ~/.gimp-2.8 and the only reference to nufraw is in
pluginrc, which has the opening lines:

# GIMP pluginrc
# 
# This file can safely be removed and will be automatically regenerated by
# querying the installed plugins.

So provided that nufraw-gimp is in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ (or
lib64 if your distro uses that), I would move the old ufraw plugin
out of there, rename pluginrc to pluginrc.bak in case things go
wrong, and restart gimp.
