I believe you can do that already -- "guix build" accepts not only
directories, but also regular files.
For example, the following builds the 'hello' package, but with the
source code of 'sed' instead of 'hello' (doesn't make much sense, but
just an example):
$ guix build hello "--with-source=hello=$(guix build --source sed)"
(no need to unpack tarballs!)

That is already supported:
$ guix build hello "--with-source=hello=file://$(guix build --source sed)"
(succeeds)
$ guix build hello "--with-source=hello=http://localhost/hello.tar.gz"
(network errors, because I don't actually have a tarball there.)
Greetings,
Maxime.
