Yes, analog to Arduino to parallel port. I didn't realize you already
had an Arduino in the loop. I would think you could use ten parallel
port and Arduino pins to feed the analog value to LinuxCNC. The "SPP
experiment" section here:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AVR 

shows a setup for sending eight bits at a time out to an AVR with SPP,
input with ten bits shouldn't be too much harder and can run at or close
to the base thread rate.
