I want to modify it such that displacement is loaded into a register first and pc,reg addr mode is used. I want to modify this in elf32-m68k.c file.

The table you see above is the encoding for the PLT entries . You would 
have to replace that with the corresponding entry in little endian or 
big endian form for whatever be the case you want to handle

In any case I dont see why you might want to do the jmp [%pc, reg] since 
you would not know the register used for calculating the offset :-)
