Best way to do this?

[John Gersh]

I'm not sure what you mean by "point" here. If it's a point on the 
edge of an extended object, then selecting the object makes the 
cursor respond to the object's points rather than to the guide. If 
it's a tiny object at the guides' intersection, then there could be a 
selection problem, though zooming in might resolve it.

If zooming is not an option for some reason, have you tried locking 
the guides? That makes them ungrabable, and if their position must be 
precise and unchanging I'd think that locking them would be wise 
anyway.
