Yes, you can use deprecated-package:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/packages.scm?h=v1.3.0#n461
For example, as in commit 5225626ffcdc29a62e8e089abcbb3d304febd2f2:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=5225626ffcdc29a62e8e089abcbb3d304febd2f2
Installations of the deprecated package will be automatically "upgraded"
to the renamed package.
