I don't think so. At least not with quite a bit of elbow grease.

LuaInterface runs Lua from inside .NET! (Same holds for LuaJava, where
Lua is invoked from Java.)

Once you have a plain old C Lua state running, it is not easy to
attach a .NET VM. It's much easier to do that the other way round.
This isn't Lua's fault, Lua is designed to be easy to embed; but .NET
isn't.
