I would not create a new minor mode. It's probably easier to put the
keybindings in the appropriate local maps, i.e.

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
  (define-key evil-normal-state-local-map (kbd "TAB") 'org-cycle))

or something like this. The local keymaps are buffer local so the usual
Emacs rules apply.

This is a know problem. I just have no idea how to detect that a certain
minor mode is being enabled (afaik there is not an
`activate-minor-mode-hook` or something like this in Emacs).
