Tagging an above-ground subway station as a building is common practice.
For underground buildings, things are more difficult; we don't have an
established way of recording the fact that they are below the surface.
layer=-1 doesn't cut it as it is only relative to other features, not
relative to the surface; and tunnel=yes doesn't sound right either (a
subway station is not a tunnel, and is not usually "in a tunnel" either).

I've seen location=underground: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:location (though the two examples given there do in fact make sense as tunnels).
