So you're using Linux. Couldn't you write a trigger that gets the hwclock() 
time? 

Why are you having MySQL keep up with the time? Why not just deal with 
ZopeTime, then subtract the appropriate amount of time based on whether it's 
DST or not? After all, how does your computer know when to change its clock 
(to DST or back)?  Is that an overhead problem that you're trying to avoid? 
Sorry these are simple solutions, but maybe that's what's needed?
