No; that's one of Remind's glaring design deficiencies. (The other major
one is the inability to have one reminder with a duration that makes it
span multiple days.)
Like `REM GMT Dec 1 AT 06:00` or something.
You could fake it:
REM 2013 Dec 1 AT [06:00 + minsfromutc('2013-12-01')] MSG 06:00 UTC
but that would fail if you live more than six hours west of UTC.
It's also a pain to code the date twice.

No, minsfromutc() accesses the time zone information from the system.
