LuaJIT support

Short answer: probably not.

What exactly do you mean by "this"? The library as it is or the concept in general? For the first: Eris works on a pretty low level with the vanilla Lua structs (as does Pluto), and uses a ton of non-API macros and functions. I haven't had a look at LuaJIT's code, but I doubt there's much to any similarity there. So I don't think there's a way for that to work.

As for the concept in general... I frankly don't know. The basic data types, sure, but that's something you could do in plain Lua for the most part (userdata aside), so I assume you're asking with regards to coroutines. And that depends completely on how LuaJIT implements those.
Looking at the LuaJIT mailing list, Mike Pall didn't deny the possibility of that being done when someone else asked about it. So I assume it at least doesn't spawn a thread per coroutine (like, say, LuaJ), but keeps track of the call stack itself somehow. I imagine there'd be a few more hurdles than with vanilla Lua, such as getting the functions re-jitted after unpersisting them, but you'd probably be on your own should you decide to have a go at implementing that.

Thus, to wrap it up: there is no LuaJIT support in Eris and there probably never will be.
