If you mail (physical mail, not email) the binaries, you have to include a written promise to mail the sources, valid for three years. Other than that, no - you have to put the sources on the same site and make them available through the same means. Why? Well, what if they can't get to that "elsewhere" where the sources are? All you know is that they can get to the place where the binaries are, so the only way to guarantee that you've made the sources available to them is to put the sources in the same place.
