It could be the harmonic balancer. This is the first pulley on the engine drive shaft that drives all the other pulleys with the serpentine belt. It is quite easy to look at it and see if the rubber has deteriorated. I had this problem with my '92 PA.

What could cause a subtle knocking noise in the engine when it's cold and only when accelerating and gets quicker the faster you accelerate?
I would say you either have a rod knocking or lifter knocking. I know in the 3.8 litre motors they are known to knock alittle when you cold start them. Most Grand Ams, Grand Prixs are like this. My sister has a 2002 Grand Am that does this and the noise goes away once it's warmed up. I would also double check and make sure your oil is full. get your car to a garage for a def solution.
