Yes, a lilac bush that is cut down to ground level can grow back.

They tend to grow back, even when their trunks split right down the middle, unless accidental or deliberate, human- or Nature-inflicted trims take place during such moisture events as hail, rain, sleet and snow storms since few bushes, shrubs and trees handle wet weather event-launched cankers.
