Yup, as documented (info "(guix) Package Transformation Options"). :-)

And Subversion, and Monotone, and CVS… but no, this is notimplemented. ;-)
The implementation is different from what you suggest: it uses a<git-checkout> record instead of an <origin>. That performs a checkoutbeforehand and uses that as the source.
Closing, but you can open a wishlist item if you want.
