I don't know of any effort to do this.
It would not be too difficult to add a method to PhraseQuery:
public void add(Term[]);
If you added {"a","b"} and {"x","y"} to a PhraseQuery then it would match
any of "a x", "a y", "b x" and "b y", and much more efficiently than a query
containing these four phrase queries. It would only traverse the
TermPositions for each term once, while the four-phrase version would
traverse each four times.
If that sounds useful, I can add it to my list of tasks...
