Not regularly, except of course when the rhotic is syllabic, as in <mr.tá->. As for Indo-Iranian *mr- > Skt. br-, see Avestan mru:- / Skt. bru:- 'speak' (this, to be sure, is PIE *l, which hardly makes a difference). I think *mrég^H-mo:n is formally unassailable (or I wouldn't have suggested it); the question is if the semantics is plausible.
