I'm afraid there's no particularly easy way. Here are some heuristics:
1. Check the manpage
2. Use what you know from other programs
3. Check the source :-)
Some generally useful stuff:
geometry: 100x100+0-0
Search for GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS in man X.
names, titles and such: free form strings
colours: see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
switches: true/false on/off or something similar (see manpage)
In the end, it's always up to the program to parse the resource
strings and this means that there will never be universal rules.
