Yes! Providing that the stain in question is "oil based"! If the stain is LATEX then no. Oil based products will mix, but oil and water won't! Water being the carrying agent of latex!

What is a good substitute for minwax wood conditioner?

Purchase "natural" color in the oil stain line. This is clear oil without any colorant. Thin this down with mineral spirits about 50/50. The idea is to flood this on the surface first and wipe it off. Then apply your colored wood stain. Since the wood is somewhat filled up with the natural oil, the penetration of the colored stain will be more even. An even less expensive way to make this is to substitute "boiled linseed oil" for the natural stain in the mix. Here I would go with a mix of at least 2 parts mineral spirits to 1 part linseed oil, since the linseed oil is heavier to start with. The trade-off using this "conditioner" is that you are not going to get as strong a color overall on the piece.
