If you check out com.apple.airport.plist in your user's Library/Preferences folder, you can see which AirPorts you are selected to automatically associate with, and add and remove them as necessary.

Access and modify the list of 'remembered' AirPorts
Apr 13, '05 08:50:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
I finally figured out where Apple stores the list of access points which it asked you if you wanted to remember or not. This was recently a problem for me because, when I was showing someone with a new PowerBook stuff, he chose to NOT automatically connect to the AirPort that is most common on campus, hence after that, he would always have to select it.

I took a look in there and don't see any of my airports listed.

Excellent! The annoying auto-connect open access network that interferes with me at work has now been nuked from the list.

While that does show some networks, I know others are stored in:

Interesting! I didn't realize at first that I had to select File -> Open, and navigate over to the path you listed in your message. Next, I was able to remove entries, but when I tried to save the file, it said, "Couldn't save file". Is this a permissions problem? Is there a way to run this utility so it can save the file in question?

Funny, I don't have that file in my prefs. I've connected with many 802.11 networks and I have one I would like to get rid of but I don't see the file. Any ideas?

BTW, just noticed this tidbit on Apple's Tiger feature list:
AirPort Preferred Networks
Access and modify the list of 'remembered' AirPorts
To achieve this sorting of preferred networks open System Prefs, then select Networks. Then select Show : Airport. In the resulting window, change the "By default, join:" item from Automatic to Preferred Networks. This will give you a list of the networks that have been remembered, and you can remove or add networks, edit the particulars of a network (i.e., network name, security type, and password), or reorder the preference by dragging networks into the desired order.

Has anyone figured out a way to explicitly choose an access point based on SSID and channel?
