The following is the method that worked for previous versions, and I assume it would work for FCS2:

How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -

There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the install discs for each app and go through the following procedure to identify the installed files.

1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.

2) Click to let the installer check your system

3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)

4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the files installed, then select all of them

5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)

6) Open a text editor & paste the list

7) If you have a printer connected, print

8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated in the list

9) Insert the next app's install disc and repeat

The other way involves the Terminal.

_______________________

Using Terminal:

1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)

2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents

3) Click Go to open the Contents folder

4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)

5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)

lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.

6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.

7) Press Return to view the list

8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)

9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.

10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.

NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.
