You'll need to set the month and day when you set the clock. The router
won't know if it's summer time unless you enter the date, but the basic
answer is yes. If you tell it your offset, specify summer-time recurring
(provided your locale uses daylight savings), and set the date and time,
you're good to go. And, the router can compute UTC based on that info so
if it's an NTP master it will be giving good data to its peers.

Getting the time from an NTP server just requires you to enter the timezone
and summer-time recurring commands if you want local time displayed by the
router. The actual date and time will come from the NTP server over the
network. Note that this takes a while for NTP to do a sanity check.
