Assuming that you have moved to openrc and running Linux not FreeBSD, you 
should have a file /etc/conf.d/hwclock.  Therefore you would not need to 
create the /etc/conf.d/clock file:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml

Read the section under Clock, which says that you should set up your timezone 
in /etc/timezone.  If it hasn't been created in your system already, then add 
it yourself with this line in it:

Europe/Budapest

HTH.
