You can set the environment variable GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH to
e.g. ~/.guix-packages then put that package definition into
~/.guix-packages/emacs.scm and it should work.
See (info "(guix) Package Modules"),
i.e. https://gnu.org/s/guix/manual/html_node/Package-Modules.html

Guix respects the environment variable GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, which you can
point to a directory containing your very own Guile modules with package
definitions.

I set GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH like below:

export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/python3.4/site-packages"

then add file "/home/feng/project/eh-guix-package/"

You should change this to match the module name and file name.
Suppose, this file is named 'emacs.scm', then it should be:
(define-module (emacs)
Or put in in a same-level sub-directory of your eh-guix-package,
as .../eh-guix-package/gnu/packages/emacs-snapshot.scm.

The manual does mention it as (17), but it's not very clear how to do
it right.

I have pushed a clarification.
Thanks for your feedback,
