I assume I will get both answers here so for those who do take note how do you go about it? If the team has a scoreboard that indicates the player's fouls I have been able to take note there, however when there isn't a scoreboard with such features how do you wise sagacious veterans go about knowing?

On the list of top-10 things to worry about, this is number 20.
I do try to be aware so we get the player replaced if / when s/he commits the fifth foul.
And, like someone else mentioned, if I can't tell which foul came first, and one player has 4, and that player is the star player on a team losing by a lot late in the game, I might try to not rub salt in the wound by giving the foul to the other player.
