You can use the disableDates property and specify a function to check the date is before the current date, roughly along these lines:

$("#monthpicker").kendoDatePicker({
    start: "year",
    depth: "year",
    format: "MMMM yyyy",

    disableDates: function (date) {
        var currentDate = new Date();
        if (date.getFullYear() <= currentDate.getFullYear() && date.getMonth() < currentDate.getMonth()) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
});
