pear uninstall [options] [channel/]<package>
So if you wanted to uninstall PHPUnit
pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
Note: remember to preface with sudo or you won't have permission to uninstall anything.

Assuming you installed pear into a root only location. It's possible to setup pear to use your local user account (something like ~/PEAR) in which case the sudo isn't needed.
