The situation is slowly improving. Since recently, you should be able to
build a barebones image for pine64 lts this way:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix system disk-image -t pine64-raw os.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
with os.scm that looks like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (gnu system images pine64))
pine64-barebones-os
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note that this very image is also build by the CI and available here:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/search/latest/image?query=spec:guix-master+status:success+system:x86_64-linux+pine64
You should be able to flash this image on a microsd and directly boot
from it.
I will try to improve the documentation accordingly, but until then you
can also read this:

Thanks,
