It is possible, but it will replace your current distro with Guix System. You might have troubles booting, I tgink you also need to make sure /etc is empty (but exists) before rebooting. "mv /etc{,.bak} && mkdir /etc" should do it, without destroying existing data in case you want to go back to the previous distso.

Use at your own risks :)
