I have the same issue, because my server is in WashingtonDC and I want to be showing Australian Eastern Time. So I have the following line in my application.cfm file:
<.cfset austime= #now()# + #createTimeSpan(0,8,0,0)#> and instead of using Now() anywhere, I just use the variable #austime#. This variable also advances the date as well as the time. It's accurate to 5 minutes, which is how accurate the sysadmin keeps the clock on the server. I'm taking issue with him on that but that's another story. When daylight savings changes, since ours moves in the opposite direction to the US daylight saving and on different dates, I just have to change the timespan value in one file to correct my times again all over my sites.
