There is no "make uninstall".

You could prepare a list of files to remove using:

   make install DESTDIR=/tmp/unkrb
   find /tmp/unkrb -type f | sed -e 's|^/tmp/unkrb||' > /tmp/list

Removing those would leave behind any directories created by make 
install, but they should be harmless.  The same find command with "-type 
d" instead of "-type f" will give you the directory list, if you want to 
inspect it for directories to remove.
