When we Mac users set up our computer, we are asked what time zone we
are in, and what is the closest city to us on a list. This gives
enough info to find the offset.
One of the notes to the update for Mac OS X 10.4.6 noted that the
update "Makes Mac OS X aware of United States Daylight Savings Time
(DST) changes enacted by the Energy Policy Act of 2005." A similar
update was part of OS X 10.4.5.

You'll see that it starts by defining the offset from Greenwich Mean
Time. My understanding is that a time server supplies either GMT or
GMT plus an offset and your OS uses its time zone rules to figure out
what the local time is.
David is right. Mac too doesn't know Congress changed the date,
and the
time server is giving only GMT. Your Mac has to know the offset and
when DST starts.
