Hey guys, just a quick question here: can you move the spot metering evaluating source with one of the focus points when you're shooting off center portraits?

No.  Spot meter is only at the center.  Point at the target you want to meter, apply any EC and press * (AEL) to lock the exposure, then recompose/focus/shoot.
