Yes, it's quite possible. I don't have the fonts to test, but a few
possible relevant remarks:

1.) Try not to use that typescript and check if it still breaks

2.) Even if your typescripts are broken, there must be a bug
somewhere: luatex should not hang even if you feed it with junk; even
if you fix the typescripts, try to find the reason for that behaviour

3.) You use Lucida math; I would be surprised if it still works (I
would bet it doesn't, but I might be wrong.)

4.) It seems that the run breaks in type-psc (not 100% sure)

5.) [encoding=8r] ??? That's not even supposed to work in MKIV (unless
I'm wrong). Usually it gets ignored (and luatex just reads afm and pfb
files), but I'm not sure how exactly tfm reading works (if it works at
all inside typescripts).

6.) If you don't like TeX Gyre and think that using the old PostScript
fonts are still needed, it might make sense to revise your typescript
and make an optional officially unsupported (but public) typescript
that others could use as well (not sure if that would mean including
it in core or not).
