I think the salient point is to provide the infrastructure where you can
install a font by dropping a number of files in directories, and then
have a standard way of accessing them.

The "drop a number of files in directories" part can ultimately be done
by using GUILEv2 functionality for downloading content via HTTP.  As
long as that is not in place, just unarchiving a font tar or zip file in
the right place would work, possibly helped with some scripts based on
wget or similar.
