I'm pretty sure that installing MacEnthon over top won't do much harm, but some of the stragglers might cause some weird but rare bugs (especially if there's code that does "try: import _something_old; except ImportError: etc.").
It would be best if you moved the stuff already installed out of the way first.
If they were installed from bdist_mpkg installers, you can use enthonbegone.py to remove them.
$ pwd
/Volumes/MacEnthon-0.1/Uninstaller
$ ./enthonbegone.py -s /Library/Receipts/Numeric-platlib-23.7.pkg
Starting MacEnthon Uninstaller
Directories to delete:
/Library/Python/2.3/Numeric
Directories that will not be deleted:
/Library/Python/2.3
$ sudo ./enthonbegone.py --logfile uninstall.log \
/Library/Receipts/Numeric-platlib-23.7.pkg
