This problem has been reported several times but it isn't trivial
repeatable. In particular I have never experience this problem.
Is /etc/localtime set the the correct timezone?
Have you been messing with the TZ variable.
Are you running a different version of dos in dosemu?
Is dosemu suid root, and does it have a ports command that
allows it to access the real hardware clock?
If there was a clue perhaps this could get fixed?
