no, because there are no sleeping processes, per se.  only sleeping lwps.  of course if there is only one lwp per process (100% of the time right now), this would effectively be a process sleeping.

if you are interested, top/ps could use some work on the lwp/proc area.  it shouldn't be too complicated, as lwp status is already being exported.  basically it's just a matter of merging lwp and proc information.
