The fact that Lucene stores and indexes (or seems it seems) all terms as Strings and that there is no NumericTerm makes me think that I might be missing something and that this migh be a much bigger deal
than I think?
You could write a HitCollector that uses FieldCache.getFloats("latitude") and FieldCache.getFloats("longitude") to efficiently lookup the latitude and longitude of each textual match. Then combine the distance score with the text score.
