Or did you mean a joint mode like `c-mode-and-image-minor-mode',

Wouldn't this be too clumsy?
Yes, why would it be too clumsy?
A more flexibel way might be to use define-globalized-minor-mode. The
turn on function there could make any check. It could for example look
in a list similar to auto-mode-alist, but for minor modes.
But maybe that would take too long time?
I think Stefan's idea of allowing auto-mode-alist to have entries like
("regexp" (major-mode minor-mode-1 minor-mode-2 ...)) is more universal.
Why not allow a form there then:
("regexp" '(progn (major-mode) (mino-mode-1 1) (minor-mode-2 1) ...))
