Yes and no: ;)
No, There should not be one because xfce4-panel does not provide this
functionality.
Yes, it would be nice to have it.

That would require PolicyKit to handle the permissions. This means it
will not come before Xfce 4.12 because it is not allowed to add new
dependencies now.

Another problem I see is that configuring timezones is distro-specific.
On Fedora for example it is /etc/sysconfig/clock while it
is /etc/timezone on Debian.

Kind regards,
Christoph
