I don’t think making the Stone requires an evil act, or Dumbledore wouldn’t be an ally of Flamel, and he wouldn’t harbour the Stone in Hogwarts. But it may require some exceptionally rare components, circumstances (like some conjunction of planets that happens only every few centuries) or skills making mass production of it impossible (at least until someone understands the deep laws of magic).

Or he may not know how it’s made. He says that Flamel assures him that Voldemort couldn’t possibly make the stone on his own, so clearly Dumbledore doesn’t consider himself fit to judge that.
if anything, this makes it more likely that the creation of the stone requires something Voldemort lacks—such as innocence, youth, or, oh heck, virginity.

The Stone could be somehow Patronus-based?

Tentative: Maybe it takes liking living things—Voldemort doesn’t seem to have any sort of generalized liking for anything but himself and his snake.
