Yes, of course. It's even quite easy for vanilla FPC apps.

It's nothing but a zip with the needed dependencies. A vanilla FPC app
doesn't need any libraries (unless you link them in). I imagine that for
Lazarus it's also quite easy, since the needed libs are known.

I suspect the idea is taken from MacOS, where apps are bundled in a similar
way.
