The ugly way to do this is to put the binary in say, /tmp/binary, then 
configure Revisor's copy_dir setting in /etc/revisor/revisor.conf:

copy_dir=/tmp/binary

So the contents of the copy_dir will end up on the media in files/

Then, in %post --nochroot, use:

%post --nochroot
cp /mnt/source/files /usr/bin
chmod 755 /usr/bin/<the-file-you-just-copied>
