Sure. `guix pack` is a neat hack and it isn't tied to any particular archive format. When using plain Guix you won't need to use any archive format at all; packages simply end up each in their own unique directory and can be used just like that. You can easily spawn a container environment where only the relevant directories under `/gnu/store` are mounted. It's on my list to add more target formats for `guix pack`, but generally I'd recommend using Guix directly to reap all benefits. `guix pack` is only really useful for cases where you cannot use Guix on the target system.
