You can add another clock applet, and then set the GConf key for
gmt_time on that applet:

gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/panel/applets/<that_applet>/prefs/gmt_time true

(I find the "gconf-editor" package really helpful for mucking around
with GConf -- it ends up in your Accessories > System Tools menu and
is essentially a slick GUI for gconftool-2.)

But I do wish you could add a location for UTC.  I haven't looked, but
it might be filed as an enhancement request in the upstream
bugzilla.gnome.org -- if it's not, you could file one.
