You don't need to uninstall GHC, ever, except for disk space reasons.
You can easily have thirteen versions of GHC installed and happily
coexisting:

stefan at stefans:~$ ghci-6.
ghci-6.4.2         ghci-6.7           ghci-6.7.20070223
ghci-6.7.20070402  ghci-6.7.20070502  ghci-6.7.20070601
ghci-6.7.20070712  ghci-6.7.20070829  ghci-6.6.1
ghci-6.7.20070213  ghci-6.7.20070323  ghci-6.7.20070413
ghci-6.7.20070518  ghci-6.7.20070612  ghci-6.7.20070826
