Yes, and the specific manuals (manpages instead of info) I was looking for were for the installed Guix version. It's unclear if the manpages for Guix were ever installed. It's possible they were, but subsequent updates through "sudo -i guix pull" didn't maintain them. Upon digging some more, I realized that "guix" doesn't have an output that only generates the manpages. So doing something like "guix install guix:manpages" was a no-go. Additionally, even if something like that had existed the version I would've gotten would have lagged behind the Guix installed on the system. Doing a "guix install guix" will get you access to the Guix manpages, but will also override the system Guix with a slightly older revision. The latter being undesirable for my needs. It turns out Guix, when built, generates the manpages via a tool called help2man which generates manpages from the --help and --version output. So a not-as-well-formatted alternative to something like "man guix-gc" is simply to invoke "guix gc --help". On Emacs, this can be made slightly more user-friendly via [noman].
