I've been looking through the Apache solr java docs and it appears that it, by default still uses Lucene's weighting system for determining the strength of a match. It also allows for the explicit definition of synonyms, but as far as I can tell this is a strict binary definition and there doesn't exist a quantitative corollary of synonymy. Is this something that could be implemented within solr without a huge amount of rewriting code?

You can make a field with synonyms and give this a lower weight in the dismax. Check this for more info.
