You don't need to trust the smartcard reader; the reader can't get any
sensitive information out of the card and snooping the PIN is usually
of minor interest.

However, to create just subkey you need to have the primary key
available and that should only be done on a trusted machine.  If you
have such a box, just enter the usual key edit menu and use
"addcardkey".
