Although the Timezone files did exist on my system, attempting to use them in the TZ variable didn't work, as mentioned before. Using the explicit definition, however, once I managed to figure out what to enter for it, produced the desired result, with one caviat: I had to put AKST+9 rather than AKST-9, even though our offset is -9, not +9. Worked though, so I suppose in the long run it doesn't really matter :) Now I just have to figure out how to set that environment variable before Apache is launched at start up, since the rc.conf file that I edited to enable Apache on startup doesn't actually include the command line used to launch Apache-just the flags used when launching. I'm sure one of my coworkers will know that one though.
