Time service as suggested, or if not available maybe running date +%s if your date command on each supports it. That will give seconds since the epoch and you can just do integer compares.
If you are looking to keep your machines in synch as far as clock is concerned, I'd suggest looking at ntpdate to keep your clocks from straying too far at which point you wouldn't need to check and compare.

nwfstime
NWFSTIME(1) nwfstime NWFSTIME(1)
NAME
nwfstime - Display / Set a NetWare server's date and time
SYNOPSIS
nwfstime [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -s ]
DESCRIPTION
nwfstime displays a NetWare server's date and time. You can also set a NetWare server's date and time from the local time.
OPTIONS
-h
With -h nwfstime prints a little help text.
-S server
is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login. To set the server's time, you need supervisor privileges.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwfstime
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login. As you need supervisor privileges for setting the date and time, this
option is probably not used very often.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-s
With -s, nwfstime sets the file server's date and time according to the local date and time.
