The only thing to stop DD would be his morality.  In one of the 
eariler books, Minerva mentioned something to the effect that DD 
could case any dark spell or unforgivable that he wanted but he 
was "too good" to do so.  (Sorry, I don't have my books to provide 
the quotation.)  So, DD would not have a horcrux because he would 
not commit murder.

Secondly, I do not the DD would want a horcrux because he values his 
own soul too much.  He does not want it split.  Following closely on 
the heels of this is the fact that DD did not fear death (see his 
dialogue with Harry at the end of PS/SS when he said something like 
death was another adventure).  So, he would have no want or need to 
establish a horcrux.
