Ok, after thinking about it, you need:
top -b -n2 | grep "^Cpu(s):" | tail -1 | awk '{print $2+$4+$6}'
(that works with procps 3.0.3)
top -b -n2 | grep "^CPU" | tail -1 | awk '{print $3+$5+$7}'
for procps 2.0.8
You need two iterations of top, so that top correctly calculates for that
time segment. the first iteration is a little bogus....

CPU's dont tend to work very well after their "magic smoke" has escaped.
