Open the character's record, click customize, and choose portrait.

That's how you change your main character's portrait. Changing the pics for the NPCs is more complicated.

You might be able to do it with GateKeeper, but I'm not sure. I know for a fact that you can do it by renaming files: Coran has a truly butt-ugly picture, so let's say you want to change Coran's potrait. Find a Baldur's Gate (or IWD) picture of a good-looking male Elven warrrior, and put the files in your Portraits directory with the names CoranL.bmp and CoranS.bmp. I don't think the capitalization is too important. Anyway, when you restart the game, Coran will be using the new pictures--the files in the Portraits directory will override the ugly mug he usually gets. If you want to change back, just delete, remove, or rename the Coran bitmaps. I actually found this out by accident when I decided a portrait really reminded me of Imoen. Pretty cool.
