Timezones are implemented using timezones files which contain info about daylight savings since forever. When/if the change happens a new set of timezone files should be released. Copy over the one for your area and you're fine.
Postgresql may use it's own system, I think it depends on the version. But the same principle applies. This I what I did when Sydney moved the daylight savings for the Olympics. I got the file and copied it to all my linux machines. OTOH the windows machines I never worked out how to do it...
