I think Sirius was prepared to die protecting Harry at some point.   I'd even 
go so far as to say that he planned to, although not necessarily at the  
Ministry.  Sirius believed that he as good as killed James and Lily.   From his 
perspective the only way to right that wrong was to die to save  their only 
child.  IMO even if he hadn't died at the Ministry he would have  sacrificed 
himself somewhere else sooner rather than later.

With  hindsight, we know that Sirius would not have died if he
had not been at  the MoM, but I don't see any reason to believe that he
was targeted  specifically during the battle.  Any of the Order members
could have  died in the MoM- the fact that Sirius was the one who did
does not support  the thought that he shouldn't have been there in the
first  place.
