I don't know anything about uudecode for CP/M, but I can tell you a simple way
to gain binary download capability for your machine.  Quite simply, if you can
get the Intel hex code for kermit via anonymous ftp from
watsun.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.39.1) which is all ascii text, then you can use
the command GENCMD on the CP/M end to generate the kermit executable.  I
believe you can find the official instructions on how to do this at the same
site. 

I recently did the above after I aquired a DEC Rainbow for free and was stuck
with a terminal program that was only capable of capturing ascii text.  Intel
hex files end in .h86 and there are versions of kermit in this format for all
sorts of CP/M machines available at the above mentioned site.  I would be very
suprised it there wasn't one there for the good ole' Kaypro.
