My system has the system clock set to UTC. In the Plasma digital clock, Digital Clock Settings -> Appearance has *use 24 hour clock* checked. Not checked are *show date* *show seconds* and *show local time zone*. In the tab * Time Zones*, exactly one timezone is checked: Amsterdam (CEST). The digital clock displays the time as *13:43 (CEST)* -- so with the timezone, even though I didn't ask for it. If I uncheck all the timezones so that "UTC / Local" is automatically selected, then the timezone is no longer displayed, but I get 11:43 which isn't correct either (well, that **is** the time in UTC, but not what I wanted). If only one timezone is selected, and *show local timezone* is off (I assume it means "display the tz label") then no timezone indicator should be shown.

It's actually a Qt bug(-ish), not related to Plasma. Qt wants /etc/localtime to be a symlink, not a file. On FreeBSD, it is normally a file (copied from somewhere under /usr/share/zoneinfo). Replacing /etc/localtime with a symlink to the source file resolves the issue. I think we'll have to improve documentation on the FreeBSD side and/or work harder in the Qt port to remove that assumption (about the symlink-ness of /etc/localtime).
