You can use Cuirass for this.  GuixSD comes with a cuirass-service,
which you can pass a specification to only build the subset of packages
you are interested in.  You can configure it to fetch the Guix sources
from the repository in regular intervals.

The most comprehensive example is probably the bayfront server
configuration in the maintenance repository:

   http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/bayfront.scm

It’s much more than what you need, but maybe you’ll find this helpful.

There has also been a post the mailing list by Mathieu O a couple of
months ago about how to set up Cuirass to build a manifest.
