Well, I'm not experienced in FreeBSD, but the procedure looks the same
as on Linux. The setting will be the same zone file name that's in
/usr/share/zoneinfo. Test it with

mysql> SET GLOBAL time_zone = timezonefile;

Tried that. The file name is GMT and MySQL bitched about it being
invalid (I tried SET GLOBAL time_zone = GMT; and SET GLOBAL time_zone =
'GMT'; and SET GLOBAL time_zone = "GMT";)

I have set the TZ environment variable to GMT though as an alternative.

Hmmm, didn't know bitch was a valid mysqld error message. :) What was the
exact error message? If you can give it another try...

The reason for doing this is because it's a requirement of running Slash. Instructions in the Slash INSTALL file say this:

        Please refer to MySQL documentation for compilation and/or
        installation notes for any questions with this process. Find the
        script that runs mysql (probably safe_mysqld) and add these
        lines to the beginning of it:

                TZ=GMT
                export TZ
