I am wondering if there is an easy way to find the position (x, y, and z) of a point with respect to a coordinate system all at once ( not separately for x, y, and z)?

With the desired coordinate system active, do information -> point and select your point.
It will return results relative to the absolute coordinate system as well as the active one.

Depending on what version of NX that you're using, look for the 'Measure Point' function.
