Sure it is: GNU/kFreeBSD[0] and even... GNU/NetBSD[1].

Well, Guile is a GNU project after all, which is primarily meant to be used on the GNU system, so I think it makes perfect sense to include links to documentation of other GNU software. However, adding a note like the one you propose for non-GNU users might be a good idea too. Thanks, Ludovic.
