Sure. 'luac' supports multiple files as input.

E.g.

$ luac -o all-in-one.luac module1.lua module2.lua module3.lua ... 

Now ' all-in-one.luac' is a compiled aggregation of all the individual lua source files.

Two things to watch out for:

(1) Make sure that your modules are indeed, hmmm, modular 
(2) Handle dependencies order somehow

Just a small matter of programming :)
