The axle is pretty darn close to centered, within a 1/4". How can I center the wheel without realigning it?

I will more than likely still take it somewhere to have it aligned anyways though since it has not been done and a local shop will do it for $45.00

That would be your best bet then! but you can use the adjustment sleeve near the pitman arm. Have someone sit in the jeep and adjust the sleeve till the wheel is strait, take it for a quick drive then make a fine tune if needed. If you have upgraded steering you might need to turn your entire drag link. Either way adjusting those will not affect your tie rod which is what messes with your toe in/out

Ah yeah I forgot about the sleeve on the draglink, I once did a "garage" alignment on it and straightened the wheel but it was a PITA with the steering linkage being really hard to adjust.
