The CMOS clock will run on any time you want it to. If you are
dual-booting with some other OS that wants the clock to be local time
(*cough*Windoze*cough*) or care what time the BIOS thinks it is, then
yes, it will be local. OTOH, if it is a dedicated FreeBSD machine, set
CMOS to UTC.
So, before we all assume this is Nils's problem, make sure his CMOS
clock is local time. But it is an excellent guess.
