With Emacs, everything is possible :-)

You'd have to do two things in your Emacs configuration:
   - add the notmuch elisp directory from Guix to load-path
   - make sure that your Guix profile is on exec-path

You probably want the latter anyway, so the additional effort looks small.

On the other hand, packaging Emacs 26 for Guix is a nice exercise and 
useful for lots of other people, so I don't want do discourage you from 
trying!

A third option is to use the notmuch executable from Guix but installing 
the e-lisp part via elpa into your non-Guix Emacs. Even with somewhat 
different versions, this should work fine, since the notmuch command 
line interface is very stable.

Konrad.
