Marco,

Hullo and welcome!

You don't mention how you do so on boot.

I assume you're talking about adding 
‘modprobe.blacklist=nouveau[,…]’ to the kernel command line[0] in 
GRUB.

You can easily ask[1] Guix to add it to the default kernel command 
line at each boot, like so:

  (operating-system
    […]
    (kernel-arguments
      (cons* "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau[,…]"
             […]
             %default-kernel-arguments))
    […])

Don't forget to reconfigure and optionally reboot.

You forgot to mention how you'd use /etc/modprobe.d to do so… ;-) 
So here too I can only guess an answer.

If you just want to add default module options, you can do so on 
the kernel command line as well: either manually in GRUB (to test) 
or the kernel-arguments field mentioned above.

For a random example plucked from ‘modinfo snd_hda_intel’: to 
disable power saving, simply add "snd_hda_intel.power_save=0", and 
the kernel will set this option for you whenever snd_hda_intel is 
loaded, no matter when or how or who loads it.

Kind regards,

T G-R
