i'm faced with the same issue of converting mkv file but the subs not transferring over. I've tried to mess with the subtitles tab using different combinations of 'burn in' and what not but it doesn't seem to be working... not familiar with how the subs are put in place w/ mkv files but it seems like they aren't "burned into" the video itself...
anyone else w/ more experience pls shed some light on this? i'm interested as well

Handbrake's subtitles option should fix that issue for you by "burning in" the subtitles. If that's not working, consider installing Perian. You can then open the MKV files in QuickTime, then export in iPhone format. It's a LOT slower than Handbrake, but at least it will get the job done.

There's a converter I just found called MKVTools. It allows you to convert with the subtitles, and it works like a charm.
Eh? Air Video? What's that got to do with this? That's a totally seperate solution to a different problem?
Handbrake is probably your best option. The newer versions will only convert to MP4s, which are playable on your PS3. Older versions converted to AVI and are out there on the net if you Google enough :]
For Windows users: check this AVS Video Converter, Its a commercial solution and cost about $39 US dollars, but its been well worth it. And, you can convert the video to all types of formats and not just MKV.

Don't forget to "ADD" the subtitles to it. even if you hit burned in, if you don't hit the add button it won't add the subtitles.
