sorry, I misunderstood your question.  I've never tried to set the cdr 
of an interned pair, but this should get the job done:

scm_sysintern("*current-ui*", ui_box(ui));

I assume ui_box returns a SCM value.  As far as Guile modules go, I have
no idea.  I'm not even sure how they work in the Scheme world.
