Given that `guix show' output is well-structured (it uses the Recutils
format), couldn't you post-process to form a bibtex file?  In
particular, you could use recfmt IIUC.

That said, there would be stuff like author etc. missing from Guix'
metadata.  What kind of output were you hoping to produce?
