I don't think there is any 'natural' way to do this.  No, if you want
to measure inductance by using the inductor as part of a tuned circuit
then you should be measuring period not frequency.  Period (1/f) does
indeed relate linearly to inductance if you are using an LR type
circuit.  On the other hand, period is proportional to the square
root of inductance with an LC circuit.
