better-require could help you achieve this if all you want is executing/accessing the typescript file.

It lets you require() typescript files - no pre-compilation needed - and a bunch of other file formats (coffeescript, clojurescript, yaml, xml, etc.)

require('better-require')();
var myModule = require('./mymodule.ts');

Disclosure: I wrote better-require.
