prstat is Solaris' top equivalent.

However for total CPU usage, try iostat -c

Top is not included with Solaris 10 but it is included with version 11 and higher. You can find Top packages for Solaris and I find so of my users prefer that due to familiarity with it versus prstat and other Solaris options. Evidently Oracle agreed at least somewhat since they're including it now too.
