Answer

Could smaller ports in Mallorca benefit from the Baleària deal?

They might, if the larger company keeps enough capacity on regional routes and does not cut less-used connections. For residents outside Palma, reliable ferry links are important for food deliveries, medicines and commuting, not just tourism. The risk is that some smaller routes could be reassessed if the company reorganises its network.
