Yes, by using loadfile() instead of require().

Something like this:

_LOADED = _LOADED or {}
function silentrequire (file)
    if _LOADED[file] == nil then
      local fname = kpse.find_file(file .. ".lua")
      if fname then
        local data = loadfile(fname)
        if data then
          _LOADED[file] = true
          data() -- run the chunk
        end
      end
    end
end
