I guess the ultimate question is could a document rank highly for a long tail phrase merely based off semantically related natural language with no direct keyphrase mention?

Instead of a search term, you use a tag. Also you can check which are "best" results seeing how many people has linked the same URL to that tag. Also you can feed links to a given tag into your RSS aggregator, to check for new content. Maybe we just need to check alternatives to search sites.
