You're not *required* to uninstall TL 2011 before installing TL 2012.
But if you want to (to save oodles of disk space), then you can just
run:

  $ sudo rm -fr /usr/local/texlive/2011/

(assuming you installed TL 2011 in the default locations).  The
symlinks that were created will be replaced when you install TL 2012.

Let me know if you encounter any problems.

Thanks!
