There's nothing that I know of that takes a DIH configuration and uses it through SolrJ. You can use Tika directly in SolrJ if you need to parse structured documents though, see: http://searchhub.org/2012/02/14/indexing-with-solrj/
Yep, you're going to be kind of reinventing the wheel a bit I'm afraid.
