is rust a hard dep now or is it still optional?
(not a problem but it will kill a few archs)

there's nothing to tell meson which lua version to use; currently it
picks up luajit (if installed) by default, otherwise uses the first of
5.3, 5.2, 5.1 that it finds. now, luajit may be the best option anyway
on those archs where it exists - if so, this would do the trick:

.include <bsd.port.arch.mk>
.if ${PROPERTIES:Mluajit}
CONFIGURE_ARGS=		-Dlua=luajit
LIB_DEPENDS+=		lang/luajit
WANTLIB+=		luajit-5.1
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS=		-Dlua=lua
MODULES+=		lang/lua
MODLUA_VERSION=		5.3
LIB_DEPENDS+=		${MODLUA_LIB_DEPENDS}
WANTLIB+=		${MODLUA_WANTLIB}
.endif

if not, then you can most of what you had, but change -Dlua=auto to
-Dlua=lua.

either way, MODLUA_VERSION will need updating if meson/lua/meson.build
is later changed to prefer 5.4, the meson build files don't have a way
to pass it in from args. I would be tempted to put in a safety grep
in e.g. post-extract to warn if 5.4 is added.

(looks like curses and m can be dropped from WANTLIB too?)
