If the standard colony component was made to fit the not a pirate trait and the special colony component was made exclusively available to the is a pirate trait it should work.
I think you can repair tech that is ordinarily not available to you but I'm not 100% sure on that. You should be able to use it if you captured it undamaged though.
This may be a good way of limiting the pirates ability to overcolonize.
