It’s supported by Guix, not by GuixSD.  :-)

I don't know if the RPi needs a special kernel or not, but I don't
believe we currently have support for booting with u-boot. Also, the
xorg-service needs to be modified to only use the intel driver on intel
machines.

GuixSD has not been ported to ARM in general.  Porting means adding
support for U-Boot and the kernel with the right settings for the target
board.

Danny would know better, but it seems to me that there’s little that’s
missing!

Thanks,
