No it’s not.

Because Guix is about reproducibility, package recipes must specify the
exact source code that they expect, hence this ‘sha256’ field.

That said, if you want to simply use a different source code tarball
without bothering, you can do:

  guix build emacs --with-source=./emacs-24.5.xyz.tar.gz

(info "(guix) Invoking guix build")
