That's what I did for *Guix REPL*: it is a server by default, and there is *Guix Internal REPL* which connects to it (there is a commentary about it in "emacs/guix-backend.el"). But I don't think it should be done here: as a user I expect that the building will be performed in the current Geiser REPL, so it's up to me (as a user) to decide what repl it is. Also to avoid that limitation, a user can just run another Geiser REPL after the building begins, and can continue to edit a scheme file with the help of the current REPL, while the building will continue in the previous one.
