I'd imagine so, though it's a bit wordy for daily use at a busy spaceport.  We have the noun {vergh} "dock", so I can imagine informally:

   Dung vergh wej		"upper dock 3"
   bIng vergh cha'		"lower dock 2"

If someone has to have a word for pylon, we already have {tut} "column, post" so for those massive pylon/docking structures on DS9 *{tut'a'} or even *{tut'a' verghmeH} "docking pylon"?

And speaking of pylons and posts, those large ceiling supports flanking the captain's chair on a BoP which look like giant shock absorbers are called:

  qoD QutlhwI' ngaDmoHwI' 
  Inner Support Stabilizer  KBOP
