Is there an equivalent method for getting the current wall clock date
and time akin to gettimeofday() from the kernel or IOKit?

There are time calls, but they are generally in GMT, since unlike gettimeofday(), there's no concept of time zone in the kernel itself.

Most of these calls are pretty expensive. If you are wanting this data for logging purposes, you should log to a user space program that attaches the timestamps there.
