Why not, as long as it won't actually build without the spaceyard?
I expect you could do the same thing by ordering a ship at a planet with a spaceyard, and then scrapping the spaceyard (though there would be no reason to), no?
Seems like a fairly clever work-around to an interface limitation, to me.
