No, Squeak inherently uses local time with naive time zone representation.

If you are looking for seconds since the posix epoch, then see:
  http://www.squeaksource.com/TimeZoneDatabase/
  http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1076

Then set your time zone and use "PointInTime now asPosixSeconds"
or "DateAndTime now asPointInTime asPosixSeconds".
