A box of toner (dry) has spilled on my carpet. What is the best way to bring it up without staining the carpet, or as little as possible?

Call a professional carpet cleaner.
Toner is ink. Ink & toner will spread like crazy if you try to clean it with water and do not have the ability to extract it.
Dry vacuum as much as you can. Do not put water or any cleaners on it.
The cost of a cleaning from a professional is alot less than replaceing the carpet if you mess it up.

I used to work on copy machines, so I know a little something about this. Use no hot water, as hot water will cause it to stain. Vacuum up as much as you can, then use a towel to try and wipe up some more. After you have gotten as much as you can up with those methods, a towel damp with cold water should finish it up.

THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAN TONER IS BY VACUUM ANYTHING ELSE WOULD ONLY MAKE IT WORSE .
BUT BE CAREFULL NO EVERY VACUUM IS EQUIPED TO HANDLE TONER SPILLS IT CAN GET SUCKED IN ONE END AND LEAVE OUT OF THE EXHAUST END POLLUTING YOUR PAD MORE IF YOU DONT HAVE A TONER VACUUM YOU CAN RENT ONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR PARTICULAR TONER CARTRIDGE

Try using a little laudry detergent, blotting with a sponge. Repeat until you get clear water.
