Ok, so you can do this:

raddb/dictionary:

ATTRIBUTE Current-Time-Date 3001 string

raddb/sites-enabled/xx:

authorize {
   ...
   update request {
     Current-Time-Date := "%S"
   }
   sql
   ...
}

%S expands to an "SQL time"; e.g. a few minutes ago:

2011-06-20 10:48:49

...so in radcheck you can put:

Current-Time-Date >= 2011-07-01 00:00:00

...and that will let them log in from midnight on July 1st. This works 
because (as I'm sure you realise) a string comparison is the same as a 
date comparison as long as the date gets more specific as you go 
right->left and is padded and formatted appropriately.
