Ask Ludovic Courtes! He is also guile maintainer, works on Nix/Hurd
and started guix:

https://gitorious.org/guix

Guix is Nix from Guile! Concretely, it allows Nix package management to
be done entirely in Scheme. The goal is to investigate whether Scheme,
and in particular the ability to define EDSLs, would allow it to fulfill
the role of the Nix language.
