There's no way to actually "unlink a gamertag" but Major Nelson at xbox.com mentions a way to do it.
I linked my Gamertag to Xbox.com using my .NET Passport, but since then, I've gotten a new account and a new Gamertag. How do I get my new 'tag linked, so I can access the My Livesection of Xbox.com?

Dear Messed,
It's a kind of back-ass-wards way to do it, but nevertheless, there is a way to make it happen. Since you can't unlink a Gamertag from a .NET Passport, you need to link the Gamertag to a different .NET Passport:
* Create a new .NET Passport account. Just use some Hotmail throwaway e-mail.
* Link the old Gamertag to the new .NET Passport account. This frees up the link from the old Gamertag to the old .NET Passport.
* Link your new Gamertag to your old .NET Passport account.
