John,
In a way, it's simple. That's what a frequency
synthesizer does. You take a 10 MHz reference, divide
it down and/or multiply it up by various ratios, mix
and filter, etc. Doing it well and cheaply is another
matter.
A simple way: divide your 10 MHz to get 1 MHz and 10
kHz. Lock your 9 MHz osc. to the 9th harmonic of 1
MHz. Mix your 9.03 osc with 9 MHz and lock to the 3rd
harmonic of 10 kHz. There are lots of other
combinations that would work, too.
