Sorry, got distracted part way through this email and left out an

After you have three clock signals synchronized to each other, you still
have to steer to line up with your input PPS signal.  You will have to
build a PLL to compare your generated 1Hz clock and the input PPS and
steer  the 100MHz oscillator to keep them lined up.  You would also want
some logic to control the reset on the dividers to get the signals started
out close to lined up with the input PPS or it might take a very long time
to achieve lock.

That is where having something like the Analog Devices part (or similar
Silicon Labs, Microsemi, etc.) are useful, they save the problems of
designing the digital PLL.
