Sadly, no.
It is often possible to install things locally, i.e. not using apt. The idea that everyone has sudo privs is unrealistic. A version of apt that added a per user subset would be very useful.

I regularly run "one-off" stuff in a `guix environment` that includes all the required packages for that command, without polluting my user (or system) profile.
For example, I recently wanted to transfer a file over HTTP from one machine to another, and did not have the "python" executable in PATH. So I started it in a `guix environment` and "containerized" it (using user namespaces) just for show:
guix environment --container --network --ad-hoc python -- python3 -m http.server
