(Note: I know very little about NixOps, so I may not be accurate.)
You are attempting to build *linux* packages on a darwin machine. You 
can deploy that way, but you need to add a x86_64-linux machine that 
will build the stuff (even a virtual one). See 
http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-distributed-builds

I don't know if there's a shortcut that also builds on the machines that 
you deploy to.
