For a simple no frills linear phase detector using an AD9901 (available 
from Digikey in the 44pin PLCC package)in the ECL mode is a better bet.
It only requires a couple of slow linear amplifiers to scale the output.
No comparators are necessary for the inputs.
Just a few diodes capacitors and resistors are required to terminate the 
input cables and protect the differential clock inputs.

If you want more bells and whistles such as programmable input dividers 
etc a CPLD implementation is better.
