xfer:

it really depends on the field(s). There is no clear answer. For example, if you were an engineering major, but developed a new found interest in English and thus minored in Eng. Then, you apply for a doctoral program in English…I can assure you that the Eng. Dept. Chair will be non-plussed with your minor…

OTOH, if you are interested in an interdisciplinary field, then a minor – or really the coursework itself – might help. Neuroscience, for example, comprises bio, psych, comp sci, etc. Thus, a major in one of those fields, with a minor (or lotsa coursework) in another related field is consistent.
