In my ksh version (Version JM 93t+ 2009-05-01 on Linux) it seems to be enabled by default (no settings in /etc/profile, ~/.profile, ~/.kshrc, or any other file named by ENV). Just start typing and hit the TAB key works smoothly. In addition, set -o vi (for example) will let you do the completion by hitting the ESC key and * while you're at the end of the string prefix (command or argument) to be matched.
