So far, in my PBEM game as allied, i have 100% success rate (2 out of 2), in using transport to evacuate an island unsupplied garnison under siege and blockage by not less than a full 6 CV japanese fleet (supported by others fleets). They resisted until supply ran out, then embarked to run away.

I found it a little odd. But maybe i was just lucky.

At least I should be able to fly in supply's? If you can do this please let me know how.

Unfortunately this is where the abstraction in WPP breaks down the game a bit. I would probably add some sort of escape interdiction that is severely penalized if done without covering fleets.

But should the units at a port be just cannon fodder when the Port is blockaded? Blockading the port is to strong in my opinion.

On a related note, transports should probably not be able to beachhead supply, and beachhead supply should maybe take one supply off the unit and/or stop that ship from counting towards blockading.

You need to read about how the USA isolated Truk and Rabaul.

They isolated these bases with ground base air and Carrier Task forces. They didn't do it with patrol craft and submarines.
