I think it's /etc/portage/sets instead. And there are also meta-sets like
system, world, module-rebuild, preserved-rebuild and more, defined in
/usr/share/portage/config/sets.conf. There is a little documentation in
the emerge man page, but I have no idea where else sets are documented.

I don't think so, sets go into /var/lib/portage/world_sets.

Your portage is too old? In case of an error, you should get an "emerge:
There are no sets to satisfy 'foo'" message, and a list of known sets.
