There is a whole little line of GPS receivers of the same chips.

Hacking in external clock onto a SuperStar isn't all that hard.

You will not have to do the divide by 7 in this case, For this 
application you get 35,42 MHz out in the second filter stage, just tap 
in on that with a diffrential pair after the filter and you are 
essentially done. In the GP2010/2015 topology it goes back in for AGC 
and sampler action. If your receiver expects the 35,42 MHz signal, it 
gets inserted into that place from a receiver buffer with filter and 
then the rest of the analog and digital path is continued... that's how 
they use up two GP2010/2015 chips, but can get away with longer cable 
runs since the damping of 35,42 MHz is much less than that of 1575,42 
MHz in RG-58....
