4.2 has been finished for some time now. So: no.

Did you check? 

The /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab file on my system (Sep 24 snapshot)
was commited 22 August.  If the change (Daylight savings, perhaps?)
was known at that time, it's reasonable to assume that the system
ships with time zone files which *do* include that information.

The new VET is in tzdata2007h (and not in tzdata2007g).

OpenBSD 4.2 and HEAD is tzdata2007f

Any country that changes the timezones without an advance notice is
asking for an IT disaster.

The whole story with various governments changing timezones out of the
blue is getting a bit old now, and affected people should complain to
their governments about the problem, not to the developers of the UNIX
operating systems that already have a well-defined mechanism for
effectively dealing with the timezones.

Please, post a copy of this message to our (Brazilian) government. We're
telling them the same thing for years. But, for whatever is the reason,
they insist to defy nature and often change DST arrival every couple years.
