Yes! At least in my opinion.

Ideally the build machines would be owned by guix-europe, but that's
something to look at sorting out once it's up and running.

The NAT is no problem, the build coordinator (intentionally) has very
few requirements.

The first hurdle to overcome is just getting the build coordinator agent
available on the system. For the board I have, I cross compiled the
guix-build-coordinator-agent-only package, then used guix archive to
copy it and all the dependencies across but any approach that works is
fine.

Once you've got that far, let me know and I can privately send you the
arguments to use when running the agent.

Thanks!
