Have you not read the installatiion guide. It's a step-by-step idiots guide:

16.Final Steps: Timezone

At this point, you should have system that's ready for final configuration. We'll start the configuration process by setting the timezone. By setting the timezone before building the kernel we ensure that users get reasonable uname -a output.

Look for your timezone (or GMT if you using Greenwich Mean Time) in /usr/share/zoneinfo. Then, make a symbolic link by typing:

Code listing 16.1: Creating a symbolic link for timezome

# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/path/to/timezonefile /etc/localtime

You might also want to check /etc/rc.conf to make sure your timezone settings are correct.
