I think you'd have to check the packaging of all the dried fruit you use too as some fruit is coated in oil which may have nut traces...

i've found this recipe for nut free marzipan...
You have to make sure the almond flavouring is artificial, otherwise use vanilla or something.
MOCK MARZIPAN
Ingredients:
2 ounces margarine
2 tablespoons water
2-3 teaspoons of almond essence
4 ounces sugar or golden syrup
4 ounces soya flour
Method:
1. Melt marg. in the water, add essence and sugar or syrup, then soya flour.
2. Turn on to a board and knead well.
3. Roll out; cut to a circular shape with the tin the cake was baked in.
4. Smear the top of the cake with jam then cover with marzipan.
5. The cake can be topped then with icing

i would bear in mind though that if making this nutfree marzipan with artifical almond essence, it will still have the flavour and smell of the real thing(maybe???) - I'm allergic to coconut and the sheer smell of it makes me feel ill...even if just in suncream or something that i'm not likely to be eating...
