In the meantime, I cloned guix repo, and added the source directory to 
Guile's load path. The error above is gone, but now I get this one:

     scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (www) (www packages))
     ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
     ;;;       or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.
     ;;; compiling

     While compiling expression:
     ERROR: no binding `guix-warning-port' in module (guix ui)

And still curious about how to import guix modules without using a 
checkout :)
