Get some mega high DPS blaster ships and sit right next to the station overloading your guns and you might be able to kill them before they dock up.
Range shouldn't be an issue because they are right next to station. Megathron, Rokh, and Brutix / Thorax come to mind.
I'd venture to say you'd want Alpha over DPS when racing the session timers, nothing says 'oh ****' like 5-10 Arty Maelstroms/Tempests (Loki's work pretty well for this, as do 720mm Arty Canes), sprinkled with Remote Sebo'd 425mm Auto-Lovin' Hurricanes, if it happens to be a kickout station an Arazu and a Huginn work wonders to ensure said target dies horribly. A precise initial strike will kill anything battlecruiser and below (except for overtanked drakes and buffer t3's).
How to kill station huggers in 5 easy steps:
Originally by: ShahFluffers
Step 1: Get as many people as you can into Stealth Bombers
Step 2: Get all these people into the target's(s') system and have them idle in space for a few hours (so the War Targets get "used" to them). Making sure they aren't spotted as they go in is KEY.
Step 3: Get a small "bait force" (should look like a "normal" PvP gang, but better tanked than usual) and see if they can't get the War Target(s) to come out and "play." 
Step 4: Make sure the War Target(s) undock something "sexy"/"costly"... when they "red-box" (i.e. engage) have the Stealth Bombers (which were sitting a bit off the station) decloak and MELT the sucker.
Step 5: Laugh and take satisfaction that you have defeated a "cheap" tactic with an equally "cheap" one.
I would say this depends on the system really, if theres over 1000+ in local, I doubt anyone is going to routinely check it for wartargets, just act as if they are there. The biggest problem with your plan is, depending on the competency of your bait force, they could get completely 'vaped before your stealth bomber gang lands. Even then, SB's are pretty lulzy and Sensor boosted arty canes will eat your bombers.
While this sounds good on paper, you'd probably burn 85-90% of your fleet to kill 1-2 targets, especially since everything with a point will get annihilated early in the fight, your not going to be able to keep the entire hostile fleet aggressed AND tackled.
If your being camped in, and want to get out, use an instant undock or any celestial inline with the station. The most frustrating thing for station campers is having you warp away unscathed. If your sure you have a good undock BM (given the 3-5% deviation) do this as soon as you load grid, and you'll be gone before they can start target spamming you. If your unsure, wait a bit, hold your timer, and try to get out once they start targeting you (if you get yellow boxed dock immediately, if this is unsucessful after a few tried, use a shuttle, get popped while spamming warp to whatever celestial you pick).
