At the Developers Wiki there's a DisplayClock that will show the time in UTC (Greenwich) at the top of the page. It's not meant to be able to switch between time zones, but making a copy of the code it was easy to find where to tell it to adjust time from UTC to get to any time wanted. So without much effort I was able to get a version with JST, and it can currently be seen anywhere at Japanese H!P Wiki. It's at the top right of the page, just above the Contribute button.

Do you think it would be useful to have that here? The original clock was meant to be helpful for places where UTC came up a lot, like the old-style talk pages that automatically added UTC time to signatures. That's not a big concern here, but we do have things like the birthday listings that switch over at midnight JST and sometimes have people wondering how soon X concert or Y event is going to take place.

For what it's worth I don't think the clock would be much of a resource hog, and it doesn't seem to move anything on the page--just fits in a previously unused space.
