Yes.  If your code generator can easily determine which variables are
used and which aren't, you can add IGNORED declarations for the unused
variables.

	(let ((foo ...) (bar ...))
	  (declare (ignore bar))
	  ;; generated code that uses FOO, but not BAR
	  ...)

If this is somehow difficult, use the IGNORABLE declaration on all
potentially unused variables:

	(let ((foo ...) (bar ...))
	  (declare (ignorable foo bar))
	  ;; generated code that may or may not use FOO and BAR
	  ...)
