I believe so, yes.

For C-M-x I guess you do need buffer-file-name.  For M-x eval-buffer
you could use

    ;;;###autoload (defconst realgud-subdir-autoloads-name "subdirectory-autoloads.el")
    ;;;###autoload (defconst realgud-content-dir)
    ;;;###autoload   (file-name-directory load-file-name))
    ;;;###autoload (with-demoted-errors "Error loading autoloads: %s"
    ;;;###autoload   (load (expand-file-name realgud-subdir-autoloads-name realgud-content-dir) t t))
