I actually have some similar setting mapping Caps Lock to Control in my 
operating system configuration, I think this may work:

<snip>
(operating-system
   (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "us" #:options '("caps:escape")))
   ; ...
<snap>

Then you can use this configuration for Xorg by adding the 
'set-xorg-configuration' service:

<snip>
(service
   (set-xorg-configuration
     (xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
<snap>

Note that this approach also applies this setting to TTYs, if you only 
want to modify the keyboard layout in Xorg you can modify the second 
snippet:

<snip>
(service
   (set-xorg-configuration
     (xorg-configuration
       (keyboard-layout
         (keyboard-layout "us" #:option '("ctrl:escape")))))
   ; ...
<snap>

Then rebuild the system
