I don't think so, you can use 'console-keymap-service' but it is for
console only (the same as you would use 'loadkeys' command)...
Or maybe you can by modifying xorg configuration file (see (info "(guix)
X Window") in the manual) and adding something like this to it:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb,us"
EndSection
But it is more simple just to use setxkbmap as you did on other distro.

setxkbmap is in the 'setxkbmap' package, so after "guix package -i
setxkbmap", I think you can just add "setxkbmap gb" to "~/.xsession"
file (I'm not sure as I've never used this method).
