It's possible that MKLUA will eventually be useful to reduce the size,
and increase the performance (if this eventually also affects kernel
Lua) as more and more Lua-written parts become part of base, but I also
see the problem Antti sees:

Lua is now part of NetBSD, so if the package tools, boot scripts and/or
powerd scripts eventually were written in Lua, MKLUA=no would seriously
affect system functionality...
