Hmmm....
I tried on my environment (distribution:: Vine Linux). 
ActiveTcl 8.5.0.0b3 was installed at /usr/local/ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3, 
and Ruby configured with ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3 is installed under /usr/local. 
Then, 
------------------------------------------------------------------
(bash)$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/bin/irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'tk'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL
=> "8.5a2"
irb(main):003:0> Tk::AUTO_PATH.list
=> ["/usr/local/ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3/lib/tcl8.5", "/usr/local/ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3/lib", "/usr/local/lib", "/usr/local/ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3/lib/tk8.5"]
irb(main):004:0> require 'tkextlib/tkHTML'
=> true
irb(main):005:0> 
------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that "require 'tkextlib/tkHTML'" returns true.
It shows that TkHTML extension is available.

Cannot you get the same result?
If you don't, please check conflict between ActiveTcl and other
versions of Tcl/Tk libraries. 

If you succeed, please try 
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ActiveTcl8.5.0.0b3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/pkg_checker.rb -v".
