I don't think you can - at least not in the sense you are wanting. 

For example, the region highlighting could be 'turned off' by setting
the foreground/background attributes to the same as the default face
attributes. This won't always work of course as different faces have
different fore/backgrounds. 

I don't believe you can turn things off unless there is a specific X
resource attribute defined to do this. 

Note that the highlighted region stuff you used as an example is called
transient mark mode and this can be turned off in your .emacs. Don't
know if there is an X resource to do this, if there isn't, I don't
think you can do it from .Xresources.
