That's because the Chicken compiler (like all Scheme compilers, AFAIK)
compiles away all syntax definitions.  In order to make them available
to the interpreter or to future compilation runs, you have to bring in
the syntax definition in source form.  Here hello-world works because
it was compiled into the pfn egg, but the fn keyword is not defined to
the interpreter.

Split your egg into two parts, one which defines macros and is included
for syntax, and one which defines functions and is compiled.  The page
on chicken-setup language on the wiki explains how.
