[The Culture] Can organic beings like humans become Minds?

Culture citizens regularly mod themselves to increase their physical and cognitive abilities, but could an individual theoretically become a Mind itself if it wished to?

Yes and no.  
Yes in the sense that it's technically possible for someone who started out as an organic person to undergo enough transformations that the resulting being is a Mind.  
No, and this is the more important part, in that the Mind that resulted of such a chain of transformations is in no reasonable way the same person as the original organic self.  In short, you can't become a Mind because the process of turning you into a Mind makes you an insignificant part of the resulting whole.  The thing your organic self considered its identity is so comparatively small, it gets lost in the noise.
