Minicom doesn't care which port you use. It might be that some people have saved configs of 6 years old that still contain references to a cua device, but that's a problem any serial program has.
From the manpage of any recent minicom:
Serial port setup *A - Serial device /dev/tty1 or /dev/ttyS1 for most people. /dev/cua<n> is still possible under linux, but not recommended any more because these devices are obsolete and many newly installed systems with kernel 2.2.x don't have them. Use /dev/ttyS<n> instead.
