Yep, this can be done. After all, Solr just uses Lucene under the covers, a Solr index *is* a lucene index.
That said, you must take some care that the <fieldType> definitions you specify in schema.xml are close enough to how you indexed your Lucene documents to work. Indexing something in Lucene as a string type then telling Solr that it's a TrieInt will lead to "interesting" behavior.
