You should be able to remove a fax job from the command line using 
'faxrm', and it should go somewhat gracefully, although it sometimes 
takes a minute for the send process to get to a place where it will 
check for a job abort (so the faxrm command will hang during that time).

If you're talking about removing another user's job, then you'll 
probably want to set up an account with administrative privileges.  And 
if you're running this on the same system that is running hfaxd+faxq, 
then you'll want to rearrange the hosts.hfaxd entries to prevent 
authentication based on "localhost" and "127.0.0.1".

See 'man hosts.hfaxd' and 'man faxrm' for more details.
