Yes, this is possible, but:
1. Extremely dangerous: there is no runtime type-checking. If you
marshal a module, you need to unmarshal it to the same package type,
exactly (no coercion allowed).
2. Rather useless: the code for functions within modules is not
marshaled (as for regular functions). If you marshal a module that
define functions, you need to unmarshal it in the same program.

Given the points above, I don't think so!
