I just checked, and it doesn't seem possible to allow planet trading without ship trading, (and through that, trading of any technology that can be placed on a ship.)
Why bother boarding a high-tech ship when you can buy one? 
At least allies are not able to, while in a treaty, board each other's ships.

Well, at least my option slows down the process. A total ban on all cross-pollination would require something along the lines of the Star Trek Mod (where each race has its own tech tree), and who has the time to code that?
