Yes, you can do it in SONAR, and it can be very effective. Not for everything, but hard-panned guitar is one thing that it does work well for.
IF you have a true stereo reverb plugin on the reverb bus (not all reverbs are true stereo, meaning they process left and right inputs independently and respect their pan positions) you can manage it via the Send Pan slider on the guitar track. You may have to disable the "Follow Track Pan" option, as when that's enabled the send automatically follows the main track pan slider.
If your reverb plugin is not a true stereo processor, you'll have to implement it with two separate reverb busses, one panned hard left and the other hard right. This isn't nearly as desirable, because you're probably sending other tracks to the reverb bus as well and you take away the reverb plugin's ability to spread reflections across the panorama.
All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
