As Ted has said, the site-wide resource files are usually located in
/etc/X11/Xresources, but you can put the file to any other place and
load the settings with xrdb(1) at any time you like, for example, when
your window manager is starting up.

The list of X resources used by GNU Emacs is in the manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/X-Resources.html

Some examples are here: http://snarfed.org/space/emacs%20X%20resources
