I was under the impression that PST was hardcoded in the Linden Labs Second Life viewer.  Certainly I haven't seen 
anything serverside that could currently affect the displayed clock.

Of course, other clients could introduce adjustable timezone display and extra messages could be added to OpenSim via 
modules (eventually) to accommodate this.

But I agree with people in the parallel opensim-dev thread to this that all servers should use the same underlying 
timezone for data purposes - the logical choice here is UTC.
