That's a very interesting idea.
I think it might make the game over complicated, though. Right now, the only set of screens which show maintenance are the Ship/Fleet screens. Fighters are already listed here. So, if you made them require support it would be easy to find that on a list somewhere. But adding a maintenance cost to each facility on a planet... where would you display that information without a major change to the program?
I'm not saying it is a bad idea. It's actually rather good. But maybe for simplicity's sake, we could just pretend that each 'Mineral Miner I' actually brings in 810 minerals each turn but the other 10 go to pay for this building's maintenance.
