Sure.

Hans has:

if not package.loaders then
     package.loaders = package.searchers
end

which is a little different but works just as well.

kpathsea can find .lua files within TEXMF (via the LUAINPUTS
variable), so that should be fine. But I doubt kpathsea is
able to find lua files using lua sub-module notation. OTOH,
even if it does not work right now, support for that should be
fairly simple to program with some extra code in kpse_module_loader.

Best wishes,
