Yes, you can setup a dedicated server without the game. Ultimate guides for setting up a CS server can be found at:

I setup a what was a 'test' server on a dedicated freebsd server a year or two back and kept it online with a ton of random users over a period of like 8-9 months. Found all the resources and then some at the sites linked above.

Good luck!
