Actually, I thought a certain red haired vamp implied that it COULD 
be forced.  When our Willow rejected her vamp counterpart's offer to 
turn her, Vamp Willow responded with "You don't wanna play, I guess 
I can't force you.  Oh, wait.  I can".

I'd guess she knew it could be forced from experience.  

Then, we have the one Darla talked to, who didn't remember how he 
got vamped.  "I was kind of out of it".

I'd guess it to be more along the lines of having one hell of a 
powerful, uncontrollable, vamp on your hands.  Slayers are more 
powerful than vamps, already, and, as we've seen with Buffy, they 
don't lose that power if they die and return.  A vamped Slayer isn't 
going to be a subordinate to anybody.
