It's not finished. http://git.suckless.org/surf/tree/config.def.h#n38 invokes 
xprop and dmenu - and these places would have to be substituted by store 
references, like:

(substitute* "tree/config.def.h"
  (("xprop") (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "xprop") "/bin/xprop"))
  (("dmenu") (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "dmenu") "/bin/dmenu")))

I'm not sure whether Guix will retain the store references on the next GC, 
though.
