I recently updated macOS to the latest version (Big Sur). When I try to install the latest Ur Quan Masters, the game will launch fine, and I can hear the background music, etc., but the screen is a white blank, whether in full screen or windowed mode.
I tested in a macOS Mojave virtual machine and it works fine there.
Not sure whether the same issue occurs in Catalina, since I don't have a copy installed anywhere to test.

Oddly, I can't replicate this, but it doesn't surprise me that this is happening under some circumstances. Mojave broke every single SDL1-based application I tried except UQM, and it worked under Catalina as well.
I've been working on a longer-term solution for this for awhile; when I get a test release built and running on Big Sur myself I'll post about it here.
In the meantime; open up ~/.uqm/uqm.cfg in TextEdit or any other text editor and there should be a line in it that looks something like "alwaysgl=BOOLEAN:false". Change the "false" to "true" on that line and see if you have any better luck.

May be interesting to know that while I have a ~/.uqm folder, there's no uqm.cfg file within it. Just 2 empty folders named save and teams. Not sure if that is expected for a new install.
Creating uqm.cfg manually with the line you shared does fix my problem though!

And now that I've gotten a build that worked on my Big Sur machine:

The longer-term solution for this is an entirely new graphics backend that includes Metal support, which should future-proof things for a good while. Links to the UQM 0.8 release candidate have been posted in that thread.
