I have seen this done with a moveable ring for azimuth and the electronic spirit level. then simply point to a star with known coordinate and turn the ring so is reads correctly. Of course you have to convert RA and Dec to Alt/Az for your location and time, Stellarium can do this and I beleive there is an iPhone app available as well.
