I can confirm this issue.  The system setting for my workstation is UTC, but in
my profile, I set the TZ environment variable to "America/Montreal".  Most
software honour that setting and display dates and times using the local TZ,
However, that is not the case of the calendar in Korganizer.

I modified ~/.kde4/share/config/korganizerrc and changed the "Timescale
Timezones" in the Timescale section.  See below :

----- begin config snippet -----
[Timescale]
Timescale Timezones=America/Montreal
----- end config snippet -----

With this, I now have a second timescale in the calendar (instead of having
only UTC).  This does not solve the problem that all the Time and date
configuration options are still in reference to UTC and not my local TZ.  For
example, if I want my daily starting hour to 09:00 America/Montreal I have to
set the start time to 13:00 in the configuration dialog box.  Furthermore, I
expect that setting will be wrong when we go back to daylight saving time. 
This also means that if I receive event by E-Mail, they get added at the wrong
time.

There should be a local timezone setting in the configuration.  This part would
be more of a feature request, I would also like to have that setting available
as a combobox in the toolbar.  That would be very convenient, since, for
example, if you go on a business trip from Montréal to San-Francisco it's very
useful to be able to view your events in the local timezone.
