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...
