I haven't tried it, but there seems to be a Lua Pecl extension.
The Lua Pecl says:
"We should emphasize that is still under development and is completely experimental."
That was nearly two years ago and there doesn't appear to have been any real work on it since. Someone would probably need to look at it carefully to make sure it is adequately functional before considering that path.
A PECL extension wouldn't be a compatibility improvement over shelling out to a Lua binary; it still requires compilation and installation on the server. (Though it could be a performance win by having the Lua interpreter available in-process.)
