I am not sure if you have to recompile the kernel or not, but the first step
is to change the symbolic link, /etc/localtime.  You are going to want to
point it to something like /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central,
/usr/share/zoneinfo/SystemV/CST6CDT, etc.  You may also want to create the
file /etc/cmos_wall_clock.

Not sure about that one...I have not tried it on my BSD system but it looks
like everything is there...
