I am looking to build an messaging infrastructure to facilitate communications between different systems in our organization. There are many way to go about this. I have looked into nServiceBus and MassTransit.
How does WF/WCF fit into this – if at all? If it does, are there any good articles, documentation or books that focus on this type of solution specifically?
This article covers design patterns for building a distributed service bus. It also has some limited coverage of how WCF and workflow are used in a service bus:

As an interlectual challenge it would be interesting to build a services. However, from a business cost benefit perspective it is probably not worth it. Especially when products like nServiceBus are free.
In addition to what you have looked at already, I would advise you to take a look at Azure .Net Service Bus:
