I don't know about svgalib, but I wrote a guile-ncurses a while ago,
it's at:
http://www.pyro.net/~crayc/guile-ncurses.tar.gz.
There's another one developed independently at:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/guile-ncurses-0.1.0.tar.gz.

Mine isn't updated for 1.6 yet (I have a version updated for 1.6.0
lying around somewhere; I'll put it up sooner or later). I guess the
major difference between the two is that the other one is done with SWIG
(which means GC is sort of screwed up, but I'm told that will be fixed
in the future).

No. Interfacing with C is pretty easy with Guile.
