Something like 

# top -n 1 | grep CPU1

Should return the CPU status from top.  You could use awk to get more
specific information for different MIBs.

LinuxFormat had an article a while ago on setting up simple MIBS using
net-snmp.  There example was one that did a ps -ef | grep httpd to see
if the httpd was still up.  I'll see if I can dig up the basics from
that article.
