There are a couple of them available for debian (dhcp-client,
dhcp3-client, pump, etc.)

apt-get install dhcp-client
                        ^
                         I--- insert your favored dhcp client here

usually does the trick. Usually it's already included in a base
install so you wouldn't really need to do this...

Do you refer to the system date as placed by the BIOS? or system time
as can be configured by date/time manipulation tools in the operating
system?

If it's the BIOS - there's not much your OS can do. a firmware upgrade
would be in order.
