Can you stand a few 10's of nano-Hz error in the 162 kHz signal? If so, a 48-bit DDS can get you that close to 162 kHz when the 10 MHz is right on.
However, dealing with the off-the air signal would be problematic as has been pointed out, not to mention the added complication of the signal having phase modulation. I've occasionally entertained myself measuring and plotting the pilot carrier of a UHF DTV station about 35 miles from home, and the received signal is festooned with all manner of interesting phase "defects". Fortunately deep dropouts seem to be very infrequent. Admittedly 162 kHz should be rather more stable than ~578 MHz, but still ... Have you considered using a good GPSDO? Although the short term phase stability is not real good, it's otherwise a turn-key and fairly straightforward solution if getting an accurate 10 MHz local reference is your goal.
