Time Zone can be done, in csh, by

setenv TZ GMT
  look at the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo for the list of valid 
  time zones.

After you set the TZ you will have to reset the date,
   date 1422   to get 2:22 pm in the new TZ

My suggestion is to, 

a) change the TZ in the root enviornment.

b) update your /etc/rc.conf file with ntpdate
   by adding 

ntpdate_flags="valid_timeserver"
ntpdate_enable="YES"                 

get the timeserver from man ntpdate
