Just as a follow up to this I did an emerge -DN world the other day and 
apparently my /etc was restructured from what it was originally.  CLOCK 
used to be set in the /etc/rc.conf, but now it is not and I do have an 
/etc/conf.d/clock that I set to local instead of UTC.  I also had to 
play around with the clock in gnome also but I think it is working fine 
now.  I have my timezone set in /etc/local and in the gnome clock, and 
the time is displayed properly.  The emails seem to be coming in at the 
right times and such, so I just wanted to say thanks for the help.
