Pritikin Vegetable Broth is canned and ff.  It has 290 mg sodium per
serving (about 1 cup).  Though that isn't great, the label says it is 65%
less sodium than Swanson canned veggie broth. I haven't tried it yet.
Hain makes a canned vegetable stock that is good, but it isn't clear so it
isn't too good for clear soups or gravies. It's basically pureed veggies.
It has the texture of v8 juice and the color of carrot juice.
Vecon is a stock base that comes in a jar.  It's imported from England.
It's pretty good.  (Thanks to Michael Traub for pointing me to it.) 1/2 tsp
makes 1 cup of broth and has 40mg of fat (i.e. .040 gram, ff by American
labeling standards).  It has 235 mg sodium. The first ingredient is
hydrolyzed vegetable protein, which I think some people avoid -- I think
it's a source of msg.
Gayelord Hauser's Instant Vegetable Broth is a powder. It contains yeast,
soy flour, hydrolized vegetable protein, and a bunch of ground up
dehydrated vegetables. Vegetables that are dehydrated, ground, then
reconstituted in boiling water taste a lot different from vegetable stock
that is dehydrated.  I think this stuff is rather bland, but it might be ok
for cooking. It doesn't give nutritional info on the box, but based on the
ingredients (no added salt or fat) it should be pretty good.
There's a brand of stock called "Take Stock" that comes frozen in 8-oz
containers.  They have a veggie stock that I think is ff that I only have
tried once. The stuff I made from it was awful, through no fault of the
stock, but that means I don't know if the stock is good on its own. Don't
know about sodium.
