To put it simple, my use case is tor. I thought it would be enough to point to the host:port like I do for socks5 settings of applications. (tor-service (plain-file "torrc" "SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050\n")) could be a config (not my config). Step one is to test it with tor, afterwards comes testing with gnunet socks. If you can not use tor, I can't help to provide a different example. The machine where the old configs are is down at the moment, but I've added it to config of guix similar to how you extend the list of substitute machines in the config.
