Here is the procedure I used last spring (you'll need to set the
TIMEZONE according to your location:

(1) Sync. (perhaps not required if portage is fairly up to date)

(2) emerge timezone-data (should be >= 2006p)

(3) set TIMEZONE="Canada/Newfoundland" in /etc/conf.d/clock (adjust
   for your local time zone).

(4) rm /etc/localtime && cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Newfoundland
   /etc/localtime (adjust for your local time zone).

(5) Check: zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007.
   For timezone-data = 2007c it shows:

/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 03:30:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 00:00:59
2007 NST isdst=0
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 03:31:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:01:00
2007 NDT isdst=1
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 02:30:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 00:00:59
2007 NDT isdst=1
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 02:31:00 2007 UTC = Sat Nov  3 23:01:00
2007 NST isdst=0

There was a thread on this last March: [gentoo-user] Problems after
DST change

Hope this helps,

Roger
