You can use Symbian specific code to meet your requirement. Add the following code in your Main.cpp file:

// Symbian specific code
    #ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
    CAknAppUi* appUi = dynamic_cast<CAknAppUi*> (CEikonEnv::Static()->AppUi());
    TRAPD(error, 
    if (appUi) {
        // Lock application orientation into Portrait
        appUi->SetOrientationL(CAknAppUi::EAppUiOrientationPortrait);
    }
    );
    #endif

Also the following LIBS in your pro file:

LIBS += -lcone -leikcore -lavkon
