I don't see how the base system could influence Guix's package
availability.
Things that might differ from one base system to the other are some
default configurations (environment variables, etc). For example, a
friend of mine tried to use Guix on top of Ubuntu and there was a big
mess concerning XDG_* environment variables and the X window system (I
don't remember the details).
If you're curious about Guix, I strongly advice using the whole system.
The community, afaik, doesn't put too much effort in making sure that it
works flawlessly out-of-the-box for all systems, since there other
priorities. Regardless, the community would be happy to accommodate any
contribution in that direction.
