In previous versions of Xcode
it was possible to create a key binding to delete the current line. There were different solutions and they are described for example here:

http://www.betadesigns.co.uk/Blog/2010/02/03/custom-xcode-shortcuts/
All solutions include modifying one of these files:
~/Library/Application Support/Xcode/Key Bindings/*.pbxkeys
~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
~/Library/KeyBindings/PBKeyBinding.dict
A good resource for the existing shortcuts in Xcode 4
is http://cocoasamurai.blogspot.com/2011/03/xcode-4-keyboard-shortcuts-now.html . There are many listed regarding deletion, but none for "delete line".
BUT, these solutions do NOT work since Xcode 4
.
Update:
Issue is still the same as of Xcode 5.1.1
Update:
Issue is still the same as of Xcode 6.1 GM Seed 2
Update: Still applies to Xcode Version 7.3 (7D175) as of 26th April 2016
Update: Six years later Xcode 8.3 has a built-in solution. See answer below.
Looks like Xcode 8.3 finally added the Delete Line command 🎉
By default, no keyboard shortcut is assigned to it, so you will need to add one yourself in:
Delete Line
