Mostly no, with a few exceptions. Power Mods only have an effect on abilities, they have no direct effect on the strength of weapons. That being said, there are three abilities which have an effect on weapons which are also affected by Power Strength. So in that case, Power Strength can increase weapon damage:


 * Roar increases all weapon damage and is increased by Power Strength.
 * Contagion adds Poison Damage to melee weapons and is increased by Power Strength.
 * Sonar adds increased damage to well-placed shots of both melee and ranged attacks and is increased by Power Strength.

There are three other weapon-modifying abilities which are not affected by Power Strength:
 * Invisibility and Smoke Screen both apply permanent stealth and allow Stealth Attacks causing much higher damage with melee weapons.
 * Electric Shield adds Electrical Damage to ranged attacks that are fired through the shield.
