Uninstalling Xcode is pretty straightforward, and involves the use of the Terminal:

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

where <Xcode> should be replaced by the path to which the tools were installed (e.g., /Developer).

If you really do want to uninstall rather than just have two or more versions co-existing then use:

/Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools
