That should work without problems provided you're using modules in the usual way (it'd also work without, but there're some caveats). So, if you have a file foo.scm looking like, say: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-module (foo)) (define foo-val 42) (define (foo) foo-val) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and put your cursor, after C-c C-k (and with a running guile REPL), on foo-val in the last line and press M-., don't you go to foo-val in line 3? That said, many of the guile built-in's are implemented in C (you'll now because their module is just (guile)), so trying to go to their definition won't work. Maybe that's what's happening to you?
