After poking internet a bit, I could come up with the following script:

@Grab(group='org.apache.poi', module='poi-ooxml', version='3.7')
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument

XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument()

new File( '/some/dir' ).eachFile{ File f ->
    if( f.directory ) return
    doc.createParagraph().createRun().text = "--------- $f.name ---------"
    doc.createParagraph().createRun().text = f.text
}

new File( 'result.docx' ).withOutputStream{ doc.write it }

the resulting docx-file is of the following "structure":

------------- error.gsp -------------
<!doctype html>
<html>
   <head>
....
------------- index.gsp -------------
<!doctype html>
<html>
