Hi,

If I understand correctly, the composer uses the coordinate system that your 
map window is in. So if you have your map is set to WGS you get degrees, but if 
it is set to UTM zone 50 (or which ever is appropriate) then you get meters.

So, if you want the composer to use UTM units, you need to make the map use UTM 
units. You can use the "on-the-fly" option to to reproject the map window into 
UTM.

 Two important notes:
1. You'll need to reorganise your map, so *save* your original project *first* 
(e.g. MyProject). The same your project as something else (e.g. MyProjectUTM).
3. 1.6 will only reproject vector layers. 1.7 (due any time now) is able to do 
both vectors and rasters.

I can not help with using DMS in the composer.
