As far as I know, the iPod doesn't allow for a 'separate' subtitle track, so you should 'burn' the subtitles onto the video, making them permanent.
Unfortunately, this subtitle burning is not a feature for encoding for iPods.

So the only way I would know how to do this, is in two encodings. Once using a mencoder preset to burn the subs, and another encoding to convert for the iPod.
