I don't think so, when a client makes an http request the following
headers are generally sent:
Host, User-Agent, Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding,
Accept-Charset, Connection, Referer. Nothing about the time there. You
could get their IP address block and make a guess as to where they are,
but that's not going to be very accurate.

If it's Apache, you can get either directives:
DATE_GMT The current date in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
DATE_LOCAL The current date in the local time zone.
and manipulate those values through php if you wish. Whether or not you
can change this at the server depends on your server set-up, ask your
host and you may be able to telnet in to the ../../share/zoneinfo
directory to do that.
If you think you're having header problems, get Firefox browser and
install the LiveHTTPheaders extension, or even better, the "Tamper Data"
extension which allows you to see headers both ways and even modify them
before sent to test your scripts.
hope that helps!
