Checking at LuaRocks.org:

CGILua: 5.2
LuaSQL (Postgres): 5.2
LuaExpat: 5.2

LuaSocket: (5.3 ???)
lua-iconv: (5.3 ???)

LuaFileSystem: 5.3
LuaSOAP: 5.3 (depends on LuaExpat)
LuaSec: 5.3
LuaZIP: 5.3
LPEG: 5.3
HTK: 5.3
Dado: 5.3 (depends on LuaSQL)

In fact, most of them should work with Lua 5.3, but with "compatibility 
flags on".
