I am not sure whether the default behavior of the clock is to 'show 
seconds' or not.

However I believe you can set this from gconftool-2 (without adding it 
to your panel),
on my system the gconf key is

/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/clock/prefs/show_seconds

which you could set to 'false' with

gconftool-2 -s -t bool 
/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/clock/prefs/show_seconds false
