nothing in the basic ksh toolset...however, to paraphrase the following site Solaris Jedi: Solaris Date command and epoch time:

truss date 2>&1 |grep ^time |awk '{print $3;}'

GNU stat:

stat --printf="%X\n" infile

Perl:

perl -le'print+(stat shift)[8]' infile

I thought the OP wanted the file modification time.

truss -f -v 'lstat,lstat64' ls -d file 2>&1 | grep 't ='

Putting omoyne PM back on this thread:

They aren't timezones, EDT is a timezone.
at: last access time
mt: last data modified time
ct: last file status change time

truss -f -v 'lstat,lstat64' ls -d file 2>&1 | grep 'ct =' | nawk '{print $10}'
