I am trying to include A3 pages in an A4 LaTeX document (following this answer) but get the following when I run pdflatex:

Chapter 1.
[1{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] [2]
! Undefined control sequence.
\AP@ ->{ \clearpage \KOMAoptions 
                             {paper=a3,paper=landscape} \recalctypearea ...
l.27 \end{document}

?

SSCCE below:

\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper,pagesize]{report}
\usepackage{pslatex,palatino,avant,graphicx,color,nextpage,afterpage,comment}
\usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[absolute]{textpos}
\usepackage[hyphens]{url}
\PassOptionsToPackage{hyphens}{url}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
foo
\clearpage
bar

\afterpage{ % Insert after the current page
\clearpage
\KOMAoptions{paper=a3,paper=landscape}
\recalctypearea
A3 stuff goes here ...
\clearpage
\KOMAoptions{paper=A4,pagesize}
\recalctypearea
}


\end{document}

I understand that "undefined control sequence" means I've forgotten to use some package on my document preamble. However it is not clear to me what's wrong in this case.

The preamble of LaTeX files usually starts with \documentclass. You use the documentclass report, which is included in LaTeX. The KOMA-script bundle offers its own documentclasses: scrartcl instead of article, screprt instead of report and scrbook instead of book.

So please switch from report to screprt for using KOMA-script commands. You don't need to load typearea, if you do this. In case you just need some features of KOMAscript, have a look at the package scrextend.

I did not test your example regarding the size of the included page. But it is a bad idea to mix geometry and typearea. Choose one of them and stick to it.
