I don't see how the base system could influence Guix's package availability. Things that might differ from one base system to the other are some default configurations (environment variables, etc). For example, a friend of mine tried to use Guix on top of Ubuntu and there was a big mess concerning XDG_* environment variables and the X window system (I don't remember the details). If you're curious about Guix, I strongly advice using the whole system. The community, afaik, doesn't put too much effort in making sure that it works flawlessly out-of-the-box for all systems, since there other priorities. Regardless, the community would be happy to accommodate any contribution in that direction. -- Andr=C3=A9 A. Gomes "Free Thought, Free World"
