I think that using the ship's power plant to jump start the outpost's plant would be similar to jump starting a car.
Based on the Black Globe shunting absorbed power to capacitors in the jump drive or stand alone I think that the capacitors if part of the jump drive would be disconnected from the grid. If the capacitors are stand alone then there should, of course Murphy or the Referee may have other ideas, be no danger to the ship's JD.

Now, would this require the ship's _power plant_ to 'jump' the
outpost, or does it need the kind of fast burn that the _Jump Drive_
does - and if the latter, how do you disconnect the drive and grid
from the drive power to do it?
If it requires the services of a starport - of at least grade C - and
it's the _starport_ that needs to be jumpstarted with the jump plant,
you've got an ... interesting ... situation...
