According to the docs, there is no way to have log_timezone default to
the OS timezone:
Sets the time zone used for timestamps written in the server log.
Unlike <xref linkend="guc-timezone">, this value is cluster-wide,
so that all sessions will report timestamps consistently.
The built-in default is <literal>GMT</>, but that is typically
overridden in <filename>postgresql.conf</>; <application>initdb</>
will install a setting there corresponding to its system environment.
See <xref linkend="datatype-timezones"> for more information.
This parameter can only be set in the <filename>postgresql.conf</>
file or on the server command line.
I suppose you could modify the Postgres server start script to set
log_timezone based on some OS setting though.
