This is rather difficult to do. It might be possibly if you only use 
imported strings as the comments that the strings have (see the POT 
files) indicate from which module they are (Note: We also shorten this 
comment field as it gets too long if a string occurs in more than one 
module).

However, Drupal also collects untranslated strings as it encounters 
them. In this case the comment contains the URL where the string was 
encountered. If the string occurs in a block this might be any url and 
you can't decide which the original module was.

I wonder if the solution we envision for the translations teams might be 
a solution for you: We plan to have a Drupal site where you can 
translate any Drupal strings inline, i.e. where they occur on the Drupal 
page. This will however rely on JavaScript and I don't know how well 
screenreaders support this nowadays.
