You could use the LuaFileSystem library[1] for testing and parsing the
directory tree. The example on LuaFileSystem's homepage is actually a
function that iterates over a given directory.

Do you mean something like:
(setq org-directory "~/Org/")
(setq org-agenda-files (list org-directory))
From the manual (Section 10.1, Agenda file):
==
The information to be shown is normally collected from all agenda files,
the files listed in the variable org-agenda-files1. If a directory is
part of this list, all files with the extension .org in this directory
will be part of the list.
==
With setting org-agenda-files to org-directory Orgmode treats all
files in ~/Org/ as org-agenda files including, IIRC, files in
subdirectories of ~/Org/.
If you set up Emacs/Orgmode correctly for all of your agenda files you
could probably use a custom agenda command[2] that outputs items that
match a certain criteria (i.e.: current, soon etc. items) and gather
the list of items by exporting these items using Orgmodes
agenda-export function[3].
It *should* work this way and you would not longer have to parse the
orgfiles manually.
