For QGIS I do this too, e.g.:

# in case of compiling another qgis version, before installing remove
all qgis related stuff
# Be Careful with the "sudo rm -rf" command, it might HURT! #
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/qgis/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/qgis/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/qgis
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/qgis_help 
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/qgis/

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgis_core.so
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgis_core.so.1.2
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgis_core.so.1.2.0 
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgis_gui.so
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgis_gui.so.1.2
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgis
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgisgrass.so
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgisgrass.so.1.2 
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgispython.so
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgispython.so.1.2
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libqgispython.so.1.2.0

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/qgis.man
