In Icicles, `C-0 C-x b' does that: Only buffers in the same mode are candidates.
You can then cycle among the candidates that match your input in the minibuffer
(e.g., hit `down' to cycle).
This is true for all Icicles commands that read a buffer name (`C-x k' etc.): a
zero prefix arg limits the candidates to buffers in the same mode. A positive
arg limits them to buffers visiting files. A negative arg limits them to
buffers associated with the selected frame.
You can instead filter the candidates on the fly to buffers in a given mode, by
using `C-x M' during completion. (You are prompted for the mode, then
buffer-name completion continues.)

You can also filter completion candidates (any kind, not just buffer names) in
several different ways at the same time (e.g. buffers visiting files whose size
is > 10K), by using `M-&' during completion. That prompts you for a predicate
to filter the current matches. Use `M-&' as many times as you like, to combine
filters.
