Well, guile-3.0 does not build on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, so that would be a bit of a blocker for a GNU Guix port: https://buildd.debian.org/guile-3.0 But guile-2.2 built fine: https://buildd.debian.org/guile-2.2 It is a rough port, I have toyed with it now and again ... requires lots of patches to code that assume userland based on running kernel; patches that upstreams are hesitant to take, etc. It is great as a grueling test of coding assumptions, though! My guess is you would have the same sort of problems with porting GNU Guix to any of the *BSD. Definitely the sort of project that would take someone highly motivated over many years... live well, vagrant
