I think you could approximate this with some empirical measurements, i.e. index 1,000 'typical' documents and see what the resulting index size it. Of course you may need to adjust this number upwards if there is a lot of variability in document size.
When I built the search engine that ran feedster, I noticed there was a 1:1 correlation between the size of the source documents and the index produces, 1M documents produced 1GB of source text which in turn produced 1GB of index. That was useful to me in determining the number of documents to put in each shard (1M) as documents were crawled and indexed.
