Facet Ordering
I've seen in the solr faceting overview that it is possible to sort
either by count or lexicographically, but is there a way to sort so
the lowest counts come back first?

I have a database where a user is searching for documents, and the
things which I'm faceting on are tags. Tags boil down to things of
interest, perhaps names, places, etc. The user in our case has asked
for the ability to change the ordering so they can easily find things
that appear very infrequently, perhaps there is some nugget in that
data which they'd not have seen before.
The real problem I have with the use case though is there is no real
way to know if the nugget is in the first 50 results, the last 50
results or somewhere in between.

As far as I know, no. What is your use case?

Peter Sturge looked into this a while back and provided a patch, but there
were some issues with it that never got resolved (in particular, it didnt'
work for several of hte faceting code paths). If you are interested in
helping to add this functinality, resurecting that patch might be a good
palce to start...
