The man page for top has tons of info.
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, "YMMV" but part of it says:
(the quote below is taken from "http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?top"):
-p : Monitor PIDs as: -pN1 -pN2 ... or -pN1, N2 [,...]
Monitor only processes with specified process IDs. This option
can be given up to 20 times, or you can provide a comma delimited
list with up to 20 pids. Co-mingling both approaches is permit-
ted.
This is a command-line option only. And should you wish to return
to normal operation, it is not necessary to quit and and restart
top -- just issue the '=' interactive command.

So back to the thread title, how can I monitor the various processes? I currently use ps and grep to look at them, but I'd really rather have some more information in a self-updating list, like top. Here's the ps/grep line that I use right now.
pxc@cista:~$ ps -ef | egrep '(wesnoth|nexuiz|tremulous|pvpgn)' | egrep -vi '(screen|grep)'
