Not efficiently. JavaScript is dynamically typed, so at compile time we don't know the types of values. And LLVM is typed, so the problem is that we don't know what types to emit.
On the other hand, asm.js is a typed subset of JavaScript, and can therefore be compiled into LLVM (and there was an experiment doing that, by compiling asm.js into C, then using clang to compile that to LLVM).
