Hi,

I think you were doing fine, but you're missing one option. You should have run 
something like "guix pack -f docker -S /bin=bin". Acording to the manual:

For instance, -S /opt/gnu/bin=bin creates a /opt/gnu/bin symlink pointing to 
the bin sub-directory of the profile. 

Now emacs is available as /bin/emacs inside the container.

See 
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-pack.html#Invoking-guix-pack
 for more details.
