Yep, see exec.library/RemTask()
Briefly:
1. Deallocate all resources that the task set up for itself such as
local memory, Signals, MsgPorts, Devices, libraries etc..
2. Call RemTask(0L); This should cause the Task to remove itself and
deallocate any remaining memory including the memory holding the Task
structure itself.
Note: Be careful the Task is not doing something that could cause another
Task to Signal it after it is gone.
