Is there a software solution that allows you to mirror a drive with two partitions onto another drive with two partitions. Each partition should mirror onto the second drive's same size partition.

SoftRAID?
Note, you can't currently boot off a SoftRAID mirror.

Yes, that's the only one I've heard of so far, and the fact that it's not bootable makes it close to useless.

Can't disk utility do a software RAID?

Yes, it can. But the GUI of Disk Utility cannot set up software RAID on a boot drive -- you need to boot from CD and create a mirror, and then install the OS if you want to boot off a mirror.
Note you can use the command line to do it though -- diskutil enableRAID followed by diskutil repairMirror. I'd be 100% sure to have a backup BEFORE trying this, though.
