No direct OSX experience with Oracle but on every other UNIX system I've used with Oracle it is just installed in its own subdirectory (like all proper UNIX applications) which can be simply deleted with no effect. If you change the startup files for OSX to automount Oracle you need to make sure you take these changes out after removing the directory as I've heard that OSX can have problems if it tries to start something that's not there (only hearsay - I've never experienced this myself).
