A Dura-Ace shifter should shift a 10 speed mountain cassette just fine. Bp: Within reason, repositioning shifters is no issue as long as you have the correct housing lengths and a long enough shift cable.

Mtn 10s rear dérailleurs and Road 10s shifters do not match up however. @yogi: As Divad say, yeas, you can mount 7, (if you can find them anymore), 8spd, 9spd, and 10spd road bar end shifters which will work on Retroshift mounts and they all index.

And yes, they make a 10 speed Dura-Ace shifter that would go on here. Can't be certain that it is compatible with their mountain rear derailleurs, though, if that's what you have in mind. Can anyone vouch for this? Yogi:
