Derek, 

These are the guile packages I have installed:
$ rpm -qa | grep guile
guile-lib-0.1.6-5.fc18.noarch
guile-2.0.9-1.fc19.i686
compat-guile18-1.8.8-6.fc19.i686
compat-guile18-devel-1.8.8-6.fc19.i686
guile-devel-2.0.9-1.fc19.i686

The guile.m4 file is installed:
$ ls -l /usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 11295 Apr 15  2013 /usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4

and GUILE_MODULE_AVAILABLE is used in a couple of places:

[steve at localhost aclocal]$ grep -v '^#' /usr/share/aclocal/* | grep -A 4 GUILE_MODULE_AVAILABLE
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:AC_DEFUN([GUILE_MODULE_AVAILABLE],
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:         [GUILE_MODULE_CHECK($1,$2,0,is available)
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:         ])
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:AC_DEFUN([GUILE_MODULE_REQUIRED],
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:         [GUILE_MODULE_AVAILABLE(ac_guile_module_required, ($1))
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:          if test "$ac_guile_module_required" = "no" ; then
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:              AC_MSG_ERROR([required guile module not found: ($1)])
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:          fi
/usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4:         ])
