Have a quick look at date's source code at src/bin/date/date.c (available
via NetBSD's cvsweb.)

It gets the time with time(3) and localtime(3) and displays it with
strftime(3).

It sets the time with settimeofday(2).

As for setting the time with daylight savings time support -- this is done
behind the scenes. Have a look at the ctime(3) and tzset(3) manual pages.
Commonly, you set the time using UTC and then you use /etc/localtime for
your local timezone or use TZ environment variable for other timezone
needs.
