It is definitely easier than making autoconf macros. This brings up another question. Should %load-path should generally include /usr/local/share/guile/site by default? Arguments in favor: it would keep symmetry with the emacs $(lispdir) directory as described in the GNU coding standards. [1] Philosophically, can something be "site"-specific and not be "local"? Arguments opposed: don't fix what ain't broke.
