You would need to add the correct configure options to your apr-util build, and 
then the httpd build.

Lua is a programming language:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_%28programming_language%29

If lua is available as a package on AIX, then adding support for it should be 
straightforward, however it would probably be best to package mod_lua 
separately, so that someone installing httpd isn't forced to install lua if 
they don't need it.

The RPM packaging places some modules into their own dedicated packages for 
this reason:
