You _should_ be able to use an HttpSolrServer, set the base URL and then go ahead and make the request. Haven't done it myself, but the SolrJ "support" for various Solr features often consists of just convenience methods over the underlying HTTP, saving you the necessity of, say, parsing the response yourself. So it _may_ just be that you need to try that.
Like I said, I haven't tried it myself but... Of course if you think this is general purpose enough, feel free to make a JIRA and attach a patch!
