What I always do is keep it in its own separate tree.  That way I can
just rm -rf the tree.  (This is on Unix.)

One trick you may use (at a time when you have enough space) is install
it in a different tree, for example,

  ./configure --prefix=/tmp/freeciv

would cause 'make install' to install it in /tmp/freeciv.
That way you can find out exactly which files it added.
For example, if your original installation was in /usr/local,
all you'd need to do to remove it is

  cd /usr/local
  (cd /tmp/freeciv; find . -type f) | xargs rm
  (cd /tmp/freeciv; find . -type d -depth) | xargs rmdir

Freeciv also has .rpm packages that you can just uninstall by using
the rpm command.  But there aren't rpm packages for every version
I like to try, so I never use them.
