That's what tzsetup does in HEAD - the name of the selected timezone file
is stored in /var/db/zoneinfo, and tzsetup -r can be used to copy in an
updated file:

  -r  Reinstall the zoneinfo file installed last time. The
      name is obtained from /var/db/zoneinfo.

It looks like this hasn't been MFC'd, although I'm not sure why.  The
change came in from svn rev 198267 by edwin (CC'd).
