Matt,
Erik and I have some code for this in Lucene in Action, but David
Spencer did this since the book was published:

If you want an informal way of doing it you're right, just feed the 
words of the source doc to a query. The doc for the code it is at this 
easy to  remember URL:
http://searchmorph.com/pub/jakarta-lucene-sandbox/contributions/similarity/build/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/similar/SimilarityQueries.html#formSimilarQuery(java.lang.String,%20org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer,%20java.lang.String,%20java.util.Set)

Follow Otis's link above to my weblog for the code.
The "MoreLikeThis" stuff is similar but more sophisticated.
Also if you want the IR way I think you'd do a "cosine measure". I know 
carrot2 has the code - this might be it:

Is there a simple, efficient way to compute similarity of documents 
indexed with Lucene?

My first, naive idea is to use the entire contents of one document as
a 
query to the second document, and use the score as a similarity 
measurement. But I think I'm probably way off base with that.

Can any IR pros set me straight? Thanks very much.

Sorry, I meant use the entire contents of one document as a query *on 
the rest of the corpus*.
