There is no Apple way to uninstall packages. In theory the list of  
files is in the receipt, but Apple provides no uninstaller. And as I  
was saying earlier, it's not necessary, because the installer knows  
how to upgrade a package - it just doesn't know how to uninstall  
them. If you want to uninstall tck/tk g77 and friends, just run sudo  
rm -rf /usr/local ;)
