How do you tune your guitar to standard tuning? With a tuner, pitch pipes, tuning fork or to some other reference point. If you didn't have a reference point how would you tune it so you knew it was in concert pitch?

You kinda answered your first question, but if you didn't have a reference point, there would be no way to know if you were in concert pitch. Basically, you would be tuning by ear and it depends how good your musical ear is whether or not you're on, close to, or way off of concert pitch. If you didn't know, concert pitch is 440HZ, which is the A above middle C...

It's a good skill to be able to tune by ear, but most of the time you'll probably just want to use your tuner so that you're spot-on.
