Not from Paramount.

We have no idea. There have, of course, been several schemes proposed in
various pro- and fan-fiction.
Okrand has discussed months in the abstract on startrek.klingon:
jar DamaSqu'bogh yIngu'
What/which is your favorite month?
("Identify the month that you very much prefer!")
and *possibly* - that is, *if* Okrand translated it for Paramount (has anyone
ever asked him about this text?) - showed us how to recite a (Terran!) date in
the "Star Trek: The Experience" communiqué:
tera' poH jaj wa', jar wa', jaj loSDIch, DIS wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh:
HovpoHvetlh latlh nab yIHutlh
Save this Stardate: Sunday, January 4, 1998.
but otherwise he's left the development of the Klingon calendar to Paramount.
AFAIK our only other piece of canonical information was in TNG "New Ground"
where Alexander said he was born on the 43rd day of Maktag.
