It looks like someone spent some effort on porting nano.
https://github.com/pmorton/omnios-build/tree/master/build

htop and dstat are a different beast - these are tools that peek into 
the kernel
and porting them would take the user interface and replace the entire 
backend.

That time would be better spent on learning the tools that are available 
in illumos/omnios.

Check 'kstat', prstat, mpstat, for example.
