Actually, I was referring to an RC and Diode network in anticipation of the possible need for more signal shaping flexibility, depending on the signals and circuitry. The built-in oscillators are usually self-biased CMOS inverters intended to go with crystals, and usually a couple of small phase shift caps to ground. If you inject the right amount of reference frequency at the input, the oscillator should sync up. Since it's for a fixed frequency, the required lock range can be quite small - it needs to be enough to compensate for drift in the resonator and circuits - so the injection level probably can be small. Since the oscillator input has plenty of gain, and the reference is likely a very low impedance, I think a fairly high impedance passive coupling network to link the two should suffice, without any extra active circuitry.
