I think No.There is no easy way to uninstall a cumulative update package for SharePoint.SharePoint updates are really a one-way street: you can only go forward with them and there's no way to uninstall, roll back, or remove them once you've started the installation process.

The reason for this is that there are two components to the update process: 1) updating the SharePoint bits installed on each SharePoint server and 2) updating the schemas and configuration of the farm's databases in its SQL Server instances. If you uninstall the bits from your SharePoint servers, those databases are still going to be functioning at the level of the applied CU and will not work with your servers.
