Looks like you downloaded the sourcecode for top. So thats not a Solaris package. In this case you should look into the archive's documentation, it will explain how to compile and install it.
Another option is heading over to either sunfreeware or blastwave and grabbing it from there. Then you're more likely to actually get a useable Solaris binary package.
> # pwd
> /usr/top/top-3.5.1
> # pkgadd top-3.5.1
> pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in
> </var/spool/pkg>
move the package to /var/spool/pkg instead of /usr/top/top-3.5.1 since pkgadd checks there by default.
Otherwise:
pkgadd -d .
should work. Don't forget the period.
