Hi Thomas,
you can try group your pdfTeX typescripts in
\beginOLDTEX ... \endOLDTEX
and your LuaTeX typescripts in
\beginLUATEX ... \endLUATEX
groups, or you make two extra files--one for pdfTeX and one for
LuaTeX--with the file type mkii and mkiv and load them in your
typescript file with \loadmarkfile{type-...}.

Sorry, not my price class.
