I think you cannot do that because distributing binary also requires to 
provide sources to comply with GPL. Therefore you should include source in 
roms and build binary from that like done for sam460ex for example (see: 
git log roms/u-boot-sam460ex). Problem is you have to figure out which 
sources and config was used to build that binary with the original 
lemote.com site mentioned in a comment in mips_fulong2e.c that used to 
host the source seemingly gone. So you probably will need to find a mirror 
and figure out how to build the pmon binary from that. The comment in 
source mentions that pmon is under BSD licence in which case it may be 
distributed without source but including random binaries may not be the 
best way even if it would be allowed by licence so building a firmware 
from source is the best way if possible.
