I did a quick test trying to build xenodm on GuixSD.  I believe the code
has some OpenBSDisms in it, as it doesn't compile out of the box.

I may try to do a real port later, but if anyone else wants to poke
around, this _incomplete_ package definition should get you started.  It
includes all the dependencies I could pick out after skimming
configure.ac

Throw this in a file named guix.scm and run

$ guix environment --pure -l guix.scm

and you can try to build it.
