I'm quite new to the Mac and need to do a clean re-install of the SL regular client. What's the simplest way to uninstall the client, since it appears to have has no uninstall?

Hmm, to uninstall the application itself you just go into the Applications folder and trash Second Life. However, if you want a full uninstall you have to go into your home folder, open Library -> Application Support and you will find a Second Life folder there. Now, if you trash the whole thing you will lose your settings and any chat logs you have, if you're okay with this then do it. Otherwise, if you just want to get rid of the cache (which stores downloaded stuff and can become corrupt sometimes), then open this Second Life folder and trash "Cache" inside it.
