If you simply want to prevent it from starting at boot, you can remove
/Library/StartupItems/OpenAFS.

To remove it completely, you'll want to open up a terminal and do
something like this:

cd /Library/Receipts/OpenAFS.pkg/Contents
lsbom Archive.bom

The above will give you a full list of the files created by the OpenAFS
package, which you can then remove.  Obviously you don't want to remove
shared paths such as /usr/bin or /private/var/db, but /Library/OpenAFS
/var/db/openafs and the various tools in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin can be
removed.
