I am not very familiar with bsnmptools. Experimenting, I have found such
combinations working:

in138:~% bsnmpwalk -v 1 -s public at localhost -i hostres_tree.def 'hrProcessorTable'
hrProcessorFrwID[5] = 0.0
hrProcessorFrwID[10] = 0.0
hrProcessorLoad[5] = 7
hrProcessorLoad[10] = 5
in138:~% bsnmpget -v 1 -s public at localhost -i hostres_tree.def 'hrProcessorLoad.5'
hrProcessorLoad[5] = 8

Note, you should explicitly specify hostres_tree.def (from /usr/share/snmp/defs) 
for bsnmptools to be able to resolve name (no idea why).

Unfortunately, bsnmpwalk does not work for hrProcessorLoad:

in138:~% bsnmpwalk -v 1 -s public at localhost -i hostres_tree.def 'hrProcessorLoad'       
bsnmpwalk: Snmp dialog - Operation timed out

Athough it works for the numerical format:

in138:~% bsnmpwalk -v 1 -s public at localhost '1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2' 
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.5 = 10
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.10 = 10
in138:~% bsnmpwalk -v 1 -s public at localhost -i hostres_tree.def '1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2'
hrProcessorLoad[5] = 10
hrProcessorLoad[10] = 6

Also, no idea why.
