Yes you can make it vegan, you just are not making risotto.

1) I thought risotto was Italian.
2) I thought it was more about the rice (and maybe the cheese) than it was about the "stock."
Risotto means "little rice," not "little rice with stock that isn't actually
essence."*
*Wikipedia sources
Larousse Gastronomique on the "little rice" bit. I don't know the full source, so maybe it means more than just "little rice."
And about the stock argument, you can go into the history of the word or whatever, but I think it's commonly accepted that a water preparation using only vegetables is a vegetable stock. I think a good one could probably make a pretty tasty risotto.
Now, using vegan cheese? That's another issue. I vote no.
