For Mars you want people to go up last so they minimize the time spent in zero g. Docking supplies on the ISS is also pointless.
The ISS is not in a useful orbit for a Mars trip and whatever your sending there can make the trip in the same thing you send into orbit. Trying to shoehorn in the ISS just make the trip more expensive and complex.
