I would group all your items temporarily (to make sure they stay positioned relative to each other), then modify the document settings to be square, then center the grouped items on the square page vertically and horizontally.

I feel like I must be missing something *really* obvious, but I can't figure out how to do this. I have a rectangular document that I need to make square, while keeping the contents centered. I.e., I need to add equal amounts to the left and right side of the document.
Make the page whatever size you want, select all, and center relative to page?

Change Relative to: to Page and click 'treat selection as group'.
