To answer the question, there's a subtitler filter that Avery Lee created that's available on the main VirtualDub site:
http://www.virtualdub.org/virtualdub_filters
However, this is why I offered to do the encoding. 1) The subtitles are timed to a 23.976 frame speed (and aren't calibrated for a short file, they're set to start at 14:33), and 2) it's possible to hardcode them using AVISynth when doing the final encode to XviD with a simple TextSub() command, instead of running the entire thing through VirtualDub and cluttering up more hard drive space.
You'd have a couple of options: export the final Huffy after setting up the transitions and whatnot, and then use Rapidshare to send me the file so I can do the encoding, or alternately send all the project files so that I would be able to clean up any segments that need it without adversely affecting other segments (you could also send me the individual huffys, I could clean them and send them back, and then send me the final export after it's been compiled).
Not to mention that I'd recommend hardcoding the subtitles for only the XviD release, if you're planning on a DVD release they'd be better softsubbed (although I'm not quite sure how easily that's done; when I tried doing softsubs for the DVD I made up for the FMA movie, it ended up being horribly off-sync, even though the timecodes were all correct), and the same would go for an H264 MKV file (which would be smaller than the XviD release, and the ability for the subtitles to play back correctly would be left up to processor strength and the memory of the computer).
