You are correct, the 30mm used on NX Mini would be your standard portrait lens. Just remember f/2 won't be that shallow depth of field on the Mini, something like f/1 would be better, but more expensive and large. This is why Nikon makes a 32mm f/1.2 for Nikon 1.

I'm not convinced that the difference will be noticeable. Smaller sensor size will be offset by longer eq. focal lenght. We will have here 81mm f2 on 1'' vs 45mm f2 on APS-C. Are you sure the APS-C will have any significant DOF advantage?

Using DOF calculator for aa distance of 1m NX mini will have DOF 4cm and NX 8cm. So NX mini will have much shallower DOF.
