I was going to ask the same question Bob did, how did you install it?  
If you used Fink (my preference) or MacPorts then it is easy.

For Fink:

fink remove openmotif
or
fink purge openmotif
(purge also removes configuration files, this is what I recommend)

For MacPorts you'll have to ask someone else as I don't even have it  
installed anymore.

If you installed it manually, then removal will be more difficult.

 From Fink on Lesstif:

So it looks like at least Fink thinks you can't have openmotif and  
lesstif both installed. Hmm.
