Actually a cleaner way would be to use the method in which I had to use
to remove Gimp-Print:
I'm pasting the Gimp-Print removal instructions here but you can use
the same concept to remove X11 packages also:
-------- pasting -----
What files are installed by the Gimp-Print installer for Jaguar and
Darwin? Where are they installed? I want to remove them; how do I do it?
"The Gimp-Print drivers for CUPS, and the required PPD files." That's
the short answer to the first question. The long answer is that a lot
of files are installed into the (typically) hidden BSD unix layer of
Jaguar. You shouldn't need to remove Gimp-Print in order to restore
your previous printing capability. Just delete any Gimp-Print printers
that are set up in Print Center. That said, if you are really fired up
about saving the 8.2MB of disk space you can use a tip provided by Wil
Shipley to get rid of those pesky files.
To remove Gimp-Print 4.2.3 open a Terminal window and type the
following command
lsbom -f -l -s
/Library/Receipts/Gimp-Print-4.2.3.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | (cd /;
sudo xargs rm)
To remove version 4.2.4 of Gimp-Print use this command:
lsbom -f -l -s
/Library/Receipts/Gimp-Print-4.2.4.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | (cd /;
sudo xargs rm)
To remove version 4.2.5 (and all later versions) of Gimp-Print use
this command:
lsbom -f -l -s /Library/Receipts/Gimp-Print.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom |
(cd /; sudo xargs rm)
You will need to enter an admin password (yours if you're the only
user on your system) to use sudo.

To completely uninstall Apple X11:
sudo rm -rf /etc/X11
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6
Drag /Applications/X11.app to the trash.
Delete any .xinitrc files you may have created yourself.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't find any
documentation or obvious way to uninstall Apples X11. Can anyone
give me some insight?
Thanks!
