To complement what Efraim wrote, ‘guix publish’ itself publishes
anything you have in the store; it does not matter whether these are
x86_64 build results, or aarch64 build results, or anything.

Now, in the setup you mention, you’d need to populate the store with
aarch64 binaries somehow.  This can be done following Efraim’s advice,
for example.

HTH,
Ludo’.
