Because you want to have the current time in both Windows and
FreeBSD and Windows assumes that the CMOS clock is a wall clock.

That's not tzsetup purpose. It assumes the kernel is returning
UTC and arranges for local time to be returned based on that.
Teaching the kernel that the cmos clock is running with wall clock
time is adjkerntz purpose.

No. You will also need to inform the kernel and reset the cmos
clock to wall clock time. I suggest that you read the manual
pages for tzsetup and adjkerntz.
Also you need to take care the first time you re-boot into windows
after a daylight savings switch.
