The readme.rtf file from version 5.5.13 says the following about uninstall:

To completely remove (uninstall) BOINC from your Macintosh:
• Move the following files to the trash:
• BOINCManager.app (from your /Applications/ folder)
• BOINCSaver.saver (from your /Library/Screen Savers/ folder)
• the BOINC Data/ folder (from your/Library/Applications Support/ folder)
• Open the Accounts pane in the System Preferences (accessible from the Apple menu), and remove BOINCManager from your list of Login Items (or Startup Items under OS 10.3.)
• Open System Preferences from the Apple menu. Select Desktop & Screen Saver and select a different screen saver.
