I made a modified config file in
/home/nathan/.config/pulse/default.pa, and then added this to
config.scm, per the manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Sound-Services.html

(service pulseaudio-service-type
             (pulseaudio-configuration (script-file (file-append
pulseaudio "/home/nathan/.config/pulse/default.pa"))))

But guix system reconfigure gives:

guix system: error: duplicate 'pulse' entry for /etc

How do I fix this?

If you're using %desktop-services, they already contain a pulseaudio
service. You should use modify-services to change the configuration,
something like this should work:

(modify-services %desktop-services
  (pulseaudio-service-type config =>
    (pulseaudio-configuration
      (inherit config)
      (script-file "/home/nathan/.config/pulse/default.pa"))))

Note that the file-append you've suggested would result in a path like
/gnu/store/...-pulseaudio/home/nathan/.config/pulse/default.pa
