Yes, you should be able to do all of this.  Note, Solr's DataImportHandler 
easily handles RSS into Solr/Lucene and then you can either use the 
TermsComponent (which uses Lucene's TermEnum, etc.) to get at the frequencies.  
You might also need to do some stuff with Spans and SpanQueries to properly 
incorporate your length of time requirement.
