A simple way to do this, if your round trip latency theough the interface is low enough, is to use Sonar's monitoring facility.
Set up your interface so you are not monitoring directly but through the DAW. Set up your two mic tracks in Sonar, arm them both for recording and click the "input echo" button on the one you want to hear in the monitors but leave the other one alone. You will then hear the already recorded tracks and, with whatever latency your system can operate at, the "dry" mic as well but not the "wet" one.
So long as you can get the round-trip latency (time taken for the signal from the mic to make the interface-Sonar-interface-monitors circuit) down to around 10 milliseconds or less without clicks or dropouts that should get you what you want. Just remember not to use any plugins that introduce significant latency of their own while doing this.
