When I set up the system, I chose the wrong option for
the clock and now FreeBSD thinks I have a UTC clock so
when I set the time with date -t, the clock in WFW got
screwed up (which I wouldn't care much about but when
I try to connect to a DCE cell with PC-DCE under WFW
I got a "clock skew too great" message.)

Where can I change this setting?
