No, Guix does collective maintenance, and AFAIK nobody has made a patch 
yet or volunteered to keep track of Minetest packages.  If you have a 
patch, you can simply sent it.

You can compile them:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build minetest minetest-worldedit minetest-...

The minetest-mod-build-system has some (very basic) tests for testing 
that the mods at least load with the new Minetest.

For some additional testing, you could create a new world (creative 
mode), enable all the mods, place blocks of various mods, testing things 
out.

If you want to, but I would say it's only required if otherwise the mods 
fail to load or are otherwise broken by the update.
