You can still load xscreensaver - it's in the repos. And according to this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CorporateUbuntu
[click on screensaver]
it includes GLText (clock) screensaver.

I've not tried it, but a little googling & searching through
http://packages.ubuntu.com/  and Synaptics will turn up a clock
screensaver somewhere :-)
