Yes, there's

  ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-PROCESS-MIB.my

Personally I haven't found it as useful as it could be:

1.) the assignment of the CPU indexes is defined by the ENTITY-MIB.
  However, the ENTITY-MIB hasn't been implemented on the 7500/VIP
  platform yet on any of the releases I tried.

2.) While ENTITY-MIB is supported on the 12000 in some releases, the
  CISCO-PROCESS-MIB doesn't have any values for the linecards, only
  for the RP.

3.) On the 7500, the CPU indexes sometimes change without reason
  (i.e. no reboot, no OIR) and I have to update my MRTG
  configuration.

4.) There are no per-processor statistics for free/used memory,
  although there is the equivalent of "show proc cpu" for all
  supported processors (i.e. RSP/VIP2s).

That said, it's nice to at least be able to graph VIP2 processor
utilization using MRTG.
