Assuming you don't want to update, it appears that you'd need to write your own version of the resources plugin.

This doesn't look like it would be too hard (some incomplete source code is here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/xref/index.html) and you could include your own custom configuration parameter to modify the overwrite behaviour of the MavenResourcesExecution class.

If you were feeling community minded, you could submit the patch back into the plugin repository to allow others to take advantage of the update.
