if you do a Hohmann-style rendezvous, you mean that you get there at apogee? Then your speed will be much smaller than a LEO station/satellite. In order to rendezvous you need to match speed as well, which basically means you need to be in LEO as well in this case, so it won't be suborbital anymore. You could drop something which has its own engines to get to LEO of course, but I think that won't be a very efficient way of getting stuff to LEO.
