afaik there isn't top on Hurd (btw: you know 'ps'?);
man is in the man-db package in section doc/.

lsmod, insmod, etc. are programs to manage linux modules. Hurd is
totally different. The device drivers are implemented in GNUmach;
GNUmach doesn't support such modules. Other drivers (for example file
systems, networking) are implemented in user space as
translators. Translators get installed/removed with 'settrans' - there
are some very good documents explaining them (see
http://hurddocs.sourceforge.net/).
