If you have a piano, that's the most accurate way. Tune your sixth string to the D (or E flat or whatever) on the piano and then tune the rest of your strings off that one.
The 'incorrect' way to do it is to tune off another part of the fret board. So for drop D, for example, you tune your sixth string an octave below your fourth string. The problem with this method is that if your fourth string isn't in tune then you'll throw the whole instrument out of tune, but if you're jamming alone that won't really matter so long as the strings are in tune relative to each other.
