As long as you know that the extension is enabled before the page loads
or the user takes any actions, you can simply find out where the modules
are added to the OutputPage (look/grep for "addModules") and wrap it in
an appropriate if statement/block. I don't think ResourceLoader itself
has any nice methods to do this for you, but I also don't think it's a
particularly useful feature, given the ease with which developers can
do it themselves...
