There are a couple of USB interface/mixers available that might do the trick. However you could record each track separately and mix-down using Audacity free software.
For my online guide on how to do this visit:
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/DIY/index.php
and follow the links to 'multi-track recording'
For that project I used a standard condenser microphone, but you could think about using a USB condenser mic instead:

If you want to find out more about USB audio interfaces, i have some info on those too here:

look for the entries under USB sound card - Sounblaster Audigy and the Behringer device.
hope some of this proves useful to you...

Try the Lexicon Omega unit - up to 4 inputs. They cost about $200 US, and come with software for recording. The "Omega" unit becomes an external soundcard, and with the software you can add more tracks later. Good luck!
