Yes, they can connect. You will need the SFP+ for the Netgear and a fiber to connect it to the Dell. And there really isn't anything that makes the port a special "uplink" port. It's just what folks tend to use them for.
Then why ... I read about some switches have 4x10GB SPF+ ports but you can use only 2 to connect server/workstation and other too are "uplinks only" to connect to other switches ?
