I think it is very plausible that a large portion of mathematics that is not very useful presently could be very useful for problems we have yet to tackle. As science progresses it will be less and less able to make grand unified theories and increasingly focus on the manifold particular. I can imagine much of math being useful only for problems we haven't even identified yet, like algebraic topology being used to study social dynamics, or engineering problems at strange scales. Even beyond that I think it may be the case that much of mathematics will become useful for reasons unforeseen. Unknown unknowns always seem to be where new science pops up.
