Within the initialisation of each module, you can add to the application resources:

Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries
                .Add(new ResourceDictionary
                {
                    Source = new Uri(
                        @"pack://application:,,,/MyApplication.Modules.Module1.Module1Init;component/Resources.xaml")
                });

Or if you follow a convention of each module has a resource dictionary called "Resources.xmal"...

protected override IModuleCatalog GetModuleCatalog()
{
    var catalog = new ModuleCatalog();

    AddModules(catalog,
               typeof (Module1),
               typeof(Module2),
               typeof(Module3),
               typeof(Module4));

    return catalog;
}

private static void AddModules(ModuleCatalog moduleCatalog,
    params Type[] types)
{
    types.ToList()
         .ForEach(x =>
             {
                 moduleCatalog.AddModule(x);
                 Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries
                     .Add(new ResourceDictionary
                              {
                                  Source = new Uri(string.Format(
                                                       @"pack://application:,,,/{0};component/{1}",
                                                       x.Assembly,
                                                       "Resources.xaml"))
                              });
              });
}
