"guix gc" will delete all packages that are no longer required. Most
probably that includes all Icecat installs except for the latest.
However, if two users on the system have different versions of Icecat
installed, both will be kept.

In a sense you already have one, stored on your computer. So I guess
your question is how you can use this binary package on a different
machine, right? There are two answers to this question:
1) If the other machine also runs Guix, the answer is "guix archive":

2) If the other machine does not use Guix, have look at "guix pack":
