No, there's nothing built into Solr to automatically promote a slave to a master.
You have several choices here. One is to build a new master and reindex from scratch. Another is to configure your slave as a new master and then bring up a new machine and have it replicate. Now make that new machine your master (you'll have to re-configure both). The fun part is continuing to serve requests while all this is going on. It's easier if you have more than one slave so you can move things around while the remaining slave is reconfigured (or whatever)....
