Circular saw with an abrasive masonry blade. Cut it outside and use a face mask.

Re: Cutting Cultured Marble Counter Top
I use an Irwin Marathon 24 tooth blade (because this is what happens to be on my saw) and cut backwards (this takes some practice) to reduce chip-out. It pretty much machines like wood with wood working tools. Any decent carbide tipped blade will work fine.

Re: Cutting Cultured Marble Counter Top
I've used an abrasive masonry blade
and a cheap diamond blade (can get them for $12-$15 here). Great results with both, main thing is turn it up-side down and cut from the back side.

Re: Cutting Cultured Marble Counter Top
You can dress the cut edge with a belt sander.
