So I might be able to use a PiDP-11 microcomputer, presuming it is compatible with thd PDP-10, to run an 8088 emulator, on which I could run early DOS programs?

PDP-11 and PDP-10 are completely different. The 11 was in the DEC 16-bit series and the 10 was in the DEC 36-bit series.

While this is completely true, the PiDP-11 mentioned by the parent is based on SimH, which does simulate PDP-10 (as well as dozens of other early systems).
