If Boromir hadn't died, I'm sure Aragorn would still feel torn between his plans of going to Minas Tirith with Boromir and wanting to help Frodo with his Burden. If Boromir hadn't "scared" Frodo and got him thinking that evil has entered the Fellowship, there would still be endless debates about their next destination until they are finally surrounded by the Orcs (morbid thought). Aragorn still had the chance to renounce his original plan of going to Minas Tirith, but eventually he has promised Boromir on his deathbed (wait, that's no bed!) that "'Minas Tirith shall not fall." How else would that happen if he would not get his hands off the Quest? Boromir's death and Aragorn's words preceding it sealed his fate and cleared his path.
