If you know the package name you want to uninstall:

	pkg_delete name_of_package

Of course this must be done as root.  You said you couldn't do this though
(although I didn't see why - I did not see your original message).

You _can_ also do this with sysinstall - installed packages will be
checked.  Choosing them again will cause them to be unchecked and removed
from the system.
