I want to use those bitcoins to make a payment now, can i send them from the Bitcoin-QT client without it being synced?

You're best option is to just wait until the wallet is done syncing, but if you're really in a hurry, you could create a wallet at https://blockchain.info/wallet and then import the private key that is associated with the address. Then you'd be able to immediately send a transaction from the blockchain.info wallet. |
