Actually for Apollo 17 it was found to be easier to train a geologist to be an astronaut than the other way around.

The Apollo astronauts were also trained quite extensively in geology. Highly recommend the Apollo 12 episode of From the Earth to the Moon for a great look at that.
I guess as long as a high enough percentage of the crew are flight people, you can teach someone else to not get in the way too much?
