(add-hook 'foo-hook 'bar)
(remove-hook 'foo-hook 'bar 'local)

PS: Admittedly, this doesn't work in Emacs-CVS because the only way this
    can work is if we can put "negative" entries on the local side of
    a hook to disable an element on the global side.  I have code to make
    it work, but last time this came up RMS said it was overkill.
