Yes, in the same way as for any other object...an L-system simply tells 
how to put the pieces together. Your question is a bit like asking if 
there is a way to mathematically turn a macro that generates a complex 
object file into an isosurface function.

The spline step seems unnecessary, it should be easy to just make blob 
components. It shouldn't be extremely difficult to make an include file 
that can parse L-systems, at least not for someone who knows how to use 
them. I have played around with them a little, but have no idea how the 
more complex ones work.
