Yes it can. There is no written 'rule' that says trance songs MUST have a kick to be classified in that genre. Take the word trance, what does it mean? It means the following:
------------------------------------------
Detachment from one's physical surroundings, as in contemplation or daydreaming.
------------------------------------------
Now, if a song can put you into a trance, why not classify it as that? Other songs use kicks, but they aren't classified as trance. Trance is NOT based on a 4/4 based kick. If it were, it would be quite boring wouldnt it? Hearing the same 4/4 kick in every tune. Think chill out / ambient, its a type of trance music, even though some may not agree. So basically, a tune can have no kick, and still be considered trance music, even though the majority would consider it chill out or ambient music.

Yes, and the word house means "A structure serving as a dwelling for one or more persons, especially for a family." So is that what house music sounds like? What relevance does that have? Absolutely none. Having said that, I think there is some largely beatless music you could classify as trance for lack of a better term. Lots of "chillout" is based on trance tunes and thus doesn't really fall under any other category. Call it ambient trance if you like? Still, most stuff we call chillout has breakbeat components and should probably be called breaks before anything else. Also, "chillout" is not equivalent to ambient and real ambient is most definitely not trance.
