Nope.  Just one line, from Johns Hopkins Hospital to Owings Mills. See:
http://www.mtamaryland.com/services/subway/schedule/map.cfm

What doesn't connect directly, i.e. you have to walk a bit, is the
Light Rail to the subway, see:

For those who might be interested, some history of Baltimoretransit:

Which brings to mind that Balticon in 2006 will be going Hunt Valley,
which is served by the Light Rail.
