I am running netbsd on Performa 476 (with a 68040) and have seen the problem you mentioned. The way I fixed it is like this:
1. In the booter, I unchecked the "Auto-set GMT Bias" and
manually calculated my offset (plus an hour). I am in the
East-Indiana timezone which is -5:00 hours but for some reason
-6:00 hours works.
2. After I booted netbsd, I found that my /etc/localtime pointed
to the wrong file. I am in East-Indiana not Pacific. We don't
change time here when the seasons change. So I removed the link
to Pacific and created a new one that pointed to East-Indiana.
It should work just fine everytime you boot it after the above changes.
