Guile only replaces Perl in Guix, but not C++.
People in GNU must have thought:
"Hmm, we already have one dialect of
Lisp, that's not enough. We need another
one for a package manager".
Guix is actively developed though.
As well as Hurd.

You can set building params in globally
in mk.conf and locally in the makefile.
pkgsrc is basically a ports system
with options galore and highly portable
(claims to be, at least). For particular
cases you will have to do some digging
but default build options are pretty
sane most of the time.

If interested, the site is here[0],
the PDF guide is here[1],
there are also some FAQs on netbsd.org.
