No, I don't think blockading the spaceport (or any other system-wide facility) does anything to affect other planets in the system. I remember a discussion about this before, and someone tested it.

The thing is, you can get 800 points from lowering the trait to 50%, and still be able to easily conquer planets. Militia are too weak to offer siginificant resistance in almost all cases. Defensive ground troops get bombarded before you drop your troops (in strategic combat). So, there is really no penalty to lowering the trait to 50%.
