On most ports, to my knoledge, you need to: a) set the kernel option to tell it the offset between hardware clock and system time. b) to get system time interpreted according to your timezone, you need to set the link between /etc/localtime and /usr/share/timezone/met or how it is called. On some ports, a) might not be true; in this case, you must operate your hardware clock at GMT.
