It seems that act_as_taggable_on uses single table inheritance, so you actually don't need to create any additional tables. However you do need to follow their convention (that they never stated) as follows:

//add to model
attr_accessible :yourfieldname_list
acts_as_taggable_on :yourfieldname

//view
<%= f.text_field :yourfieldname_list %>
