So as an exercise, I deleted the Zenoss installation from my OSX box.   
There is a "zenoss" group, but not the actual user in the user  
manager.  Unfortunately this is going to take some CLI work:

to see the user:
        dscl . read /Users/zenoss

to see the members of the "zenoss" group:
        dscl . read /groups/zenoss GroupMembership

to delete the 'zenoss' user from the "zenoss" group:
        sudo dscl . delete /groups/zenoss GroupMembership zenoss

now they're gone:
        dscl . read /groups/zenoss GroupMembership

to delete the group:
        sudo dscl . delete /groups/zenoss

to delete the user:
        sudo dscl . delete /users/zenoss

and to delete the zenoss user's directory
        sudo rm -rf /Users/zenoss

I put all this into http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/4575 to get the  
docs or installer updated.  Dry your eyes :)

Thanks,
