Usually the field defined as int, not as unsigned. Thus you can put negative values there. PHP's date() will accept negative values> There will be a problem begins if you pass this value to JavaScript's Date class. It does not accept negative time stamps. But this is a rare case.

Still I think that using proper data types in the database is very important. It is like using proper tool for the job and it is gives a good professional impression about the product.
