RotBlitz is correct that in most cases, you should just be able to point the A record for the subdomain to the appropriate IP address.

In the rare case this is not sufficient (I think I have seen one other customer do this in my year and a half at Dyn Inc.) and you have Custom DNS, you can enable the expert interface in the preferences. At that point, you will have the option to create NS records, which will allow you to delegate a subdomain to another DNS provider.

Format would be something like this, but replace our nameservers with whatever DNS provider you plan on using for that subdomain.

subdomain.example.com 86400 IN NS http://nsX.otherdnsprovider.com
http://subdomain.example.com 86400 IN NS http://nsX.otherdnsprovider.com
http://subdomain.example.com 86400 IN NS http://nsX.otherdnsprovider.com
http://subdomain.example.com 86400 IN NS http://nsX.otherdnsprovider.com

Of course, type in the appropriate names for your situation.

Why would you want to delegate a subdomain to non-DynDNS nameservers? It's sufficient to create an A record pointing to the server where this subdomain is hosted.
Also, you didn't elaborate your environment. Is this your domain, and is the domain/zone registered with DynDNS? Did you get DynDNS Custom as DNS hosting service for your domain?
