If not, is it easy enough for me to leave the security area (the departing flight goes to Puerto Rico, so I guess that's international) and then re enter to board my flight?

I only have 1 hour 50 minutes available between flights in DFW.

I appreciate any help from you guys, many thanks in advance.
Your friend won't be able to get through security, but it's very easy for you to exit, meet him, and re-enter. You just need your boarding pass to re-clear. International or not doesn't matter for security. And DFW security checkpoints usually have very short wait times, 5 minutes or so is typical unless it's Monday morning or a holiday weekend.

Edit to add: welcome to Flyertalk!
