The alternative is to simply copy the appropo tzdata file to /etc/localtime :)
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime
or
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime
I prefer to just set the appropo TZ in the kickstart config, e.g for me all of my kickstart.cfg files have the following entry (even though, I'm in San Diego :)
timezone America/Los_Angeles

Karanbir,
Thank you very much, I was able to install the system-config-date package no problems :)
yum install system-config-date
For those looking to set their server to East Coast Time Zone. While using system-config-date I selected 'America/New_York' as it was the closest I could seem to find to a city in the East Cost Time Zone. I think this is acceptable :|?
I got the idea cross referencing the options provided by system-config-date and this list of cities in a given time zone: http://freespace.virgin.net/john.cletheroe/usa_can/usa/timezone.htm
