Here's a (reduced) snippet I have from my home-config (and previously in
my manifest file):

(define %my-package-list
  (list "git"
        "git:send-email"
        "git-annex")

(define package-list
  (map (compose list specification->package+output)
       (filter (lambda (pkg)
                 (member (or (%current-system)
                             (%current-target-system))
                         (package-transitive-supported-systems
                           (specification->package+output pkg))))
              %my-package-list)))

(%current-target-system) doesn't currently work with guix-home but I
figured I'd have it ready. package-transitive-supported-systems makes it
so that git-annex, which shows as supported on aarch64-linux, isn't
added because ghc, one of its dependencies, isn't supported on
aarch64-linux.
