You should be fine with the LGPL license of Qt.

I would like my application to be easy to distribute. I was hoping to distribute it as a single executable file. I don't think this is possible with the LGPL?

You would distribute it anyway as one file, because you're going to pack it into something which does the install. i.e. dmg/pkg file, installer, Linux package, etc.

I don't think I've ever seen a Mac app which consisted of only one file. The whole idea behind .app apps is that they consist of several files.

I don't know of any applications whose scope would require to use Qt to come as a single file.

The installer (be it dmg, exe, pkg, whatever) will, but then it's not a problem with the LGPL.
