Yes. If the subtitles are ascii files (srt, sub, etc.) try with 

mplayer yours_options -vop expand=-1:-130:-1:-1

and change -130 as you need it. This add top and bottom blackbars so the image
is centered in the screen ... And the subtitles are at the bottom as usual.

If the subtitles are vobub, afaik they have a fix position in the screen so
the one way is move the image to the top; try with

mplayer your_options -vop expand=-1:-96:0:0

bye,
