I don't believe there is a program to do it.
The files are re-formatted form of the Unix timezone info. You can get
the latest Unix code from: http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm which
points you at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/.
The timezone is fixed, the hassle is the Daylight saving time
switching days which tend to move around based on the local
government's whim [1].
Timezones are described in an textural table which is "compiled" to a binary
file. All you need to do is convert this output to text (the Unix toolkit contains
such a program) and add the apropriate header to make a plan9 timezone file.

[1] wasn't there a case a few years back, of the mayor of Rio changing the
metropolitan area's timezone so its workers could have more time on the beach?
Doesn't sound such a good idea in a rainy English winter...
