Personally I think that the only practical way to run any PDP-10 OS at home
is via emulation.  Unless of course you've got a lot of money and a lot of
room (OK, the lot of room isn't necessary if you've got a TOAD-1, but the
lot of money is).

You can find info on emulating PDP-10's at my webpage:

You can also find info on emulating other DEC systems, including PDP-11's
and VAXen at:
