Many schemes have been designed for this, perhaps the most popular today are the yoke mount and the German equatorial mount (G.E.M.). In this computer age, the simplest method is to forget about polar alignment altogether, set the telescope up on an alt-azimuth mount and let a computer program move the horizontal...
