James, Thanks for reaching out.
Like Eric said, I'm a little scared because I know that Phoenix is rather baked into HBase's API. But, that's half the fun in writing some new code :)
I'd be happy to help evaluate what this would look like - what is different (both good and bad) in Accumulo. Like was previously mentioned, targeting the Accismus (Percolator) prototype to generate the secondary indices would, IMO, be the best target here. I know it's in the very early stages right now, but I still believe that it would be the long-term solution.

Hello, Would there be any interest in developing a SQL-layer on top of Accumulo? I'm part of the Apache Phoenix project and we've built a similar system on top of HBase. I wanted to see if there'd be interest on your end at working with us to generalizing our client and provide in a server that would do Accumulo-specific push down in support of a SQL layer. I suspect there's enough similarity between HBase and Accumulo that this would be feasible. Thanks, James
