PHD2 can be asked to auto-select a guide star by hitting alt-s. That feature is already baked in. The server interface allows connecting programs to be alerted if a guide star is lost and allows programs to automatically start guiding in which case an appropriate star will automatically be selected.
Some programs that interface with PHD2 already do that. Failing that it should be trivial to make a standalone program that listens for PHD2's "Starlost" event and then sends the "Guide" event back to basically tell PHD2 to try find a star and resume.
