First, it isn't a stupid question.
Set the BIOS clock to GMT or EDT - the way you plan to set it for
Linux. Then set the BIOS clock correctly for that time zone.
I enclose this from /usr/doc/timezone/Introduction.gz, and suggest
you do this. I trust this will work for you.
Or is there some interaction that I just don't see?

You just need to run /usr/sbin/tzconfig and answer the questions.
The right time zone will be installed. It takes effect immediately.
No reboots, no logouts.
