Let me make sure I understand you.
I'd get my regular query from haystack as qq=foo rather than q=foo.
Then I put in solrconfig within the dismax section:
<str name="q.alt">
{!boost b=$popularityboost v=$qq}&popularityboost=log(popularity)
</str>
Is that what you meant?

If you can get haystack to pass through the user query as something
like qq, then yes - just use something like the last link I showed at
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyFAQ#How_can_I_boost_the_score_of_newer_documents
and set defaults for everything except qq.
