i would have more like to offer a conceptional approach here.
how about adding a value depending of the rootlevel of the page?

first level would have 	10000
second level would have  1000
third level would have    100

as a page value added to the index document.

You could then group results around this value. Or select them with a facet.

Another way could be using a recip function.

check this link for some examples:

unfortunally the website itself seens dowr gone:
