No changes should have been required just for the DST change,
provided either

1) You have the system clock on GMT

or

2) You had the system clock on local time before 2am Sunday,
and the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock existed when you booted before then,
and FreeBSD kept running for at least 121 minutes after 2am Sunday.
Then adjkerntz should have adjusted the system clock at 3:01 am
Sunday.  It seemed to work right in Sydney Australia.
