Precisely.

1) Copy the applicable components and adjust their abilities as desired. Add a racial tech requirement.
2) Delete the original components.
3) Set the new racial trait to start at tech level 1, so the critical components like bridges and spaceports are available right from turn #1.

Note that this will invalidate all of your EMP files, and the AIs will have to be modded to pick one of the new racial traits.
