So even an educated calculation won't do it because you'd need to know how many documents the word occurs in (you could do a search, but that would be overkill and impractical).

I don't know what you mean by file (index or document), but you can have both frequencies I mentioned above from an IndexReader, evt. using skipTo() to go to the document. The methods are docFreq(Term) and termDocs(Term).
